Paralyzer
|
Paralyzer is a very long unforgiving casacade and drop. Consider portaging this unless you are a mega expert kayaker or conditions look just right. Remember that just below Paralyzer is the Kiss Me rapid and you probably don't want to swim either of these.
|
Scout above the drop on river left. Decide whether to portage or not form here.

Kiss the Wall
|
This rapid tends to push the boater onto the wall. Lot's of mishaps have happened here. This is another don't swim area. You can portage around this on river left by the house but as landowners change or change their mind on paddler access you need to be respectful here on this private property.
