Rapids
| # | Rapid | Class | Recommended flow | Description | Scout |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Unnamed Rapid | II to III | 500–20,000 | Read and run |
|
| 2 | Unnamed Rapid | II to III | 500–20,000 | Read and run |
|
| 3 | Eye Opener Rapid | II+ to III+ | 500–20,000 | Large waves and holes possible here. Rapid is fairly long and contiguous. |
Scout from the road or read and run. |
| 4 | Lost Creek Rapid | III+ to IV | 500–20,000 | Rapid runs around a sharp river right bend. Lot's of holes and since the river turns you have to run the bottom half blind unless you scout. |
Scout from the right bank or the road. |
| 5 | Eagle Mountain Rapid | III+ to IV+ | 500–20,000 | Scout to find out where the rocks and holes are. This rapid runs under the Eagle Mountain Pack Bridge. |
Scout from the right bank or the road or pack bridge. |
| 6 | Lower Eagle Mountain Rapid | III to IV | 500–20,000 | Immediately after the upper eagle mountain rapid is the lower one. At high flows this rapid will blend together so if you screw up in the upper rapid you will swim or float through the lower one. Lower flows allows some recovery time in between. |
Scout when you scout upper eagle mountain rapid. |
| 7 | Unnamed Rapid | II to IV | 500–20,000 | This rapid gets worse with higher water. Mainly a continuation of lower eagle mountain rapid. Calms down at lower flows. |
|
| 8 | Fake Onno's Hole | III+ to IV | 500–20,000 | A very narrow section in the river creates a large hole at the bottom right of this rapid. Hole is big enough to make you think at most levels. |
Highly recommended scout from the right bank or the road. |
| 9 | Keep Moving Rapid | III+ to IV | 500–20,000 | Rapid start just above a sharp left hand turn in the river. Waves and rapid run for a good distance. |
|
| 10 | Stanley Creek Rapid | III+ to IV+ | 500–20,000 | A rocky, holey and pushy rapid at most water levels. A few pourovers to watchout for pinning. |
From the right bank or the road. |
| 11 | Mile 133 Rapid | III to IV | 500–20,000 | Rapid at a right hand turn. |
|
| 12 | Mile Long Rapid | III+ to IV | 500–20,000 | 2 large rocks form the start of this rapid and then you need to pick your way through the waves and holes |
Right bank or from the road |
| 13 | No Sweat Rapid | III to IV | 500–20,000 | Rocky at low flows, holes and pourovers at high flows. |
|
| 14 | Lone Pine Rapid | III+ to IV | 500–20,000 | Usually lines work far left and center. This rapid can have some powerful holes and hydraulics. |
Recommended scout from right bank. |
| 15 | Holly Creek Rapid | III to IV | 500–20,000 | Narrow and rocky at low water and big holes at high water. |
Scout from right bank |
| 16 | Castle Creek Rapid | III+ to IV+ | 500–20,000 | A very long technical rapid. Many believe this to be the hardest rapid on this section. At high flows this can become very dangerous and possibly unrunnable. |
River can't be seen from the road so scout from either bank. |
| 17 | Triple Hole | III+ to IV | 500–20,000 | This rapid can surprise you as it's hidden around a left hand turn in the river. |
Scout from right bank |
| 18 | Unnamed Rapid | II+ to III | 500–20,000 | Harder at high water. Read and run |
|
| 19 | Mile 129 Rapid | III+ to IV- | 500–20,000 | Nice wavetrain at higher water. |
Read and run |
| 20 | County Corner Rapid | III+ to IV | 500–20,000 | Rapid continues all the way through the bend. Pushy water wants to slam you into the left bank as the corridor narrows on this turn |
Scout from the highway station building area on the right bank |
| 21 | Class V Rapid | III+ to IV+ | 500–20,000 | A long rapid. Most runnable area is towards river left. |
Scout on right |
| 22 | Log Jam Rapid | III+ to IV+ | 500–20,000 | As the name implies, a bunch of wood debris is found on the right side of this rapid and can be covered and a hazard at high water. |
|
| 23 | Pass Creek Rapid | II to III+ | 500–20,000 | Harder at high water |
|
| 24 | Mile 125 Rapid | II to IV | 500–20,000 | Again harder at high water with large waves and holes. Goes away at lower water. |
|
| 25 | No-See-Um Rapid | II to IV | 500–20,000 | Very large rapid at high water flows and nothing at lower flows |
|
| 26 | Ten Pen Alley Rapid | III+ to IV+ | 500–20,000 | A large, technical rapid. |
Recommended scout from right bank. |
| 27 | Unnamed Rapid | II to III | 500–20,000 | Read and run |
|
| 28 | Wilderness Gateway Bridge Rapid | III | 500–20,000 | River widens here and require weaving through rocky area. |
