Kayaking Knife's Edge

Knife's Edge is a very intimidating rapid. Scout this from river right. The line starts off on river right and makes a left hand move down into the drop. This is followed by a quick right turn along the left wall. It is common to start that second turn too late and flip up on the wall. If you head into the first turn diagonally you will be setup much better for the second turn. There is another move for the faint at heart which has the boater staying along the right ledge and boofing into the pool below. It should be noted that the boof move often ends up with the boater sliding off the ledge sideways.

If all of this sounds too much for you, you can sneak the whole rapid in the hidden left hand channel which reconnects at the bottom of the rapid. This channel is not visible from these photos. It is also possible, though tiring, to climb up the right hand bank, over the top of the hill, and back down again if you wish to portage the whole thing. Be safe!
