Piece of Cake Rapid Access

Piece of Cake Rapid is a Class III rapid located on the Upper Salmon River just downstream of Sunbeam Dam near Stanley, Idaho, commonly used as a starting point for rafting trips due to its accessibility via the Yankee Fork boat ramp.

Most commercial and private boating trips begin below Sunbeam Dam to take advantage of Piece of Cake rapid followed by the more challenging Narrows rapid, making this a popular section for intermediate paddlers.

The rapid is typically run as part of a day trip that includes lunch stops and swimming opportunities at Jump Rock before takeout at Torrey's Hole.
