Ellport to Rock Point Park—Class IV Rapids at High Water!

Trip Overview

This is from www.americanwhitewater.org/content/River/detail/id/1599/ "The river takes a sharp turn to the left and goes under a high railroad bridge; this begins the first of about 6 rapids. . . at high water some of the rapids start to merge. Rooster Tail, about your 3rd rapid, will be the most significant and at high water could be a class -4. There are no good land marks and because the rapids tend to merge at high water the start of Rooster Tail is best recognized by the more difficult nature of the rapid. . . At high water, the big sloping rock on river right forms a hole. . . There is a diagonal wave formed by all the water getting channeled to the left that likes to flip people if they are not squared up to it. At high water, a swim here can be longer than most people enjoy. . . "
