Description

The Tioga River's Highway 41 section features a challenging whitewater run with unpredictable water levels and potential hazard rocks scattered throughout the rapid. Paddlers should carefully scout the line, paying close attention to mid-stream obstacles and potential strainers, especially during lower water conditions when rocks become more exposed. Safe passage requires precise maneuvering and a thorough understanding of current hydraulics.
