Info from American Whitewater:

Red Moshannon Creek, Pennsylvania, US1 – Peale Bridge to Route 53 Bridge (Red Moshannon, “Red Mo”, Race Course)

Rapid Descriptions
Put-in (Class I)
Put-in river-left just below the Peale bridge.

Tiffs Riff (Class I, Mile 2.8)
The first “action” after 2+ miles of warm up. Wavetrains on river-right where most of the flow pushes.

Preacher’s Island (Class I, Mile 3.0)
The clear path is river-right of this island. This is the popular destination for “on-river” spectating carnage at Rattlesnake Rapid on race day!

Magnavox Rocks (Class II, Mile 5.0)
Rocks the size of a Magnavox TV river-right on the outside of a slight turn to the left.

Four Pines Island (Class I, Mile 5.5)
Looks to only be 3 pines remaining. Keep river-left.

Slant Rock (Class II, Mile 6.0)
The biggest hole on the Red Mo. The Slant Rock is river-left and the hole is left of center. Playable if you can attain. Some brave folks have been seen jumping off this rock, but it would appear to be a fairly shallow landing.

Chicko’s Rock (Class II, Mile 6.7)
Stay river-left to miss the “action”. Beware of Chicko’s that lurks submerged in the middle of the river halfway through the rapid.

Twinn Rocks (Class N/A, Mile 7.3)
Stay river-right and “split” the Twinn’s because this is the finale!

Take-out (Class I, Mile 7.5)
Take-out river-left under or just past the bridge.
