Description
122 Mile Rapid features a narrow channel with moderate boulder obstacles and consistent class II+ hydraulics that require precise boat positioning. Paddlers should expect a series of tight turns with potential pour-overs and moderate wave trains that demand attentive navigation, particularly at lower water levels. The rapid's center line offers the cleanest route, but requires careful momentum management to avoid potential rock pinning opportunities.
