Description
Put In rapid marks the entry point for this Irish Creek run, featuring a technical initial drop with scattered boulder gardens that demand precise boat placement. Paddlers should be prepared for potential undercut rocks and shifting water dynamics, particularly at lower water levels, which can create unexpected hydraulics and pin hazards.
