Class III
A large flipper/wrapping rock is in the middle of a narrow section of the river. Work your way to the left in the shallows above the narrow section, and stay about 25' from the left shore as you approach the rock. Pass to the left of the rock and to the right of a small ledge sticking out from the left shore for the best ride.
Eddy your kayak behind the ledge for a nice view of the action, or eddy out along the right shore to line up for pop-ups in the right eddy line behind the rock. There is squirrely water behind the rock, so be sure you have a good roll if you go in for pop-ups.
Waiting in line for pop-ups at Wilhoyt's rock.
