This is the first rapid of Kickacéki Reach and comes quick. The main event is the waves located center towards the middle of the rapid that come together at a pinch point between the rocks on the right and the canyon wall/rocks on the left.
Be extra cautious here for a car (!) that is located towards the bottom of the rapid on river right which will hopefully be removed at somepoint.
From American Whitewater, regarding the rapid’s name: “The prominent rock wall here is known as Ìk·wì·k and is a traditional Shasta salmon fishing site. Bogus Tom and Moffett Creek Jake were among the last Shastans to fish here before it was flooded by Copco Reservoir, and both interacted with John C. Boyle, the dam’s construction manager as the dam was being built. This name was chosen because it is the existing place name and honors Shasta culture and connection to the river.”
