Murphy's Road / Reservation Hwy.24

Murphy's Road rapid on the West Branch of the Red River presents complex navigation through a boulder-strewn section with potential pinning hazards and unpredictable water levels. Paddlers should be prepared for tight maneuvering between rocks and potential hydraulic features that can quickly change with fluctuating flow rates. Local knowledge and careful scouting are critical due to reported access issues and the rapid's remote location.
