Run description:
The Flood Run on the Gordon is above the Upper Run and only runs when everything else is too high. It is a rollercoaster big-water run with significant consequence for swimmers.
There are a few significant class 5 drops that can be scouted from the road. Most of the run can be seen from the road.
The First big drop on this run is a tight slot on river left with some undercut rock and is usually portaged, take note of it’s location from the road if you are new to this run. It can be sneaked on river right and walked from either side.
