Description

Named such because people often confused this rapid with its big brother (Specer's Hole) downstream.  This rapid is a Class II+ at most flows, but occasionally deserves class III attention as it has several large rocks that in recent years have become a little bit harder to avoid, particularly for swimmers.

Initial run is on river right, with a move to the left to avoid two large (mostly) submerged boulders.  At some flows these boulders are submerged and just form a small hole.  After the boulders there is a diagonal ledge on the left, "T" up to it and enjoy the splash.  Not a difficult rapid, but swimmers are going to have a bad time.  200 yards downstream is Class III Spencer's Hole.

Scout

Lead in can be scouted from river left at the bend in the river preceding it with a campground.
