Nordheimer is the true classic class IV-V run of the Cal-Salmon, and it has a general big water class IV character with two larger class V rapids sprinkled in. If you are an experienced boater, this stretch of river should be at the top of your list. It has it all. Notable rapids include Bloomer Falls (IV), Air Plane Turn (IV), Cascade (V), Achilles Heal (IV), Last Chance (IV), and Frieght Train (V), to name a few.
A backyard favorite of ours, this nearby gem is known locally as “the Slammin Salmon”. This spring time and early summer run is epic!
