Government Rapid

Ray and Teddy ride the tailwaves in Government, which is at Mile 63.

Looking out across the tongue at Government. Follow that tongue and you'll just have fun being swept safely past the several rocks on the right.

At low water, Government Rapid is mostly a rock-dodge. But it turned out that we had around 5K cfs! That makes Government into a real rapid with a tongue and a fun series of tailwaves. There is a slight left-turn to the rapid, so as always, you don't want to get stuck on the outside of a curve. But given that, you follow the tongue and ride the waves!
