Haunted House (class IV+) is
the last major rapid and it is extremely turbulent. The water whirlpools
left around a rock wall. The first hole is created by a five-foot drop into
a partially submerged rock. Most work left, the water flushes out faster
there, but watch out for extremely strong eddy fences. An unfortunate swimmer
in this rapid could be held underwater for about 15 seconds and pop up next
to a wall somewhere. There have been stories of paddles disappearing in
the turbulent water for up to five days. When in doubt, scout and portage
on the right. Back to Mile-by-Mile Photos courtesy of All-Outdoors California Whitewater Rafting
