Description

Skirum Creek Rapid features a technical boulder garden with multiple narrow channels and potential pin hazards that require precise boat positioning. The rapid's midsection contains several reactive Class II+ hydraulics and requires careful route selection to avoid undercut rocks on river right, with the main line requiring a left-to-right move through a series of small ledge drops.
