Converse Creek Rapid

This is the longest and most interesting rapid in the last 3 miles, though several other drops are also very fun and interesting.    Converse Creek enters on the left just upstream of this rapid.   The rapid itself has a series of ledges and chutes.

At the headwaters of Converse Creek is Converse Basin and its large grove of Sequoia Gigantea redwoods. This was the second largest grove of giant redwoods till some 6,000 trees were logged between 1892 and 1918, by the Hume Bennet Lumber Company.
