Description
Alder Creek Rapid is a technical Class III drop with a complex boulder garden that demands precise boat positioning and quick maneuvering between exposed rocks. Paddlers should focus on threading a clean line through the center-right channel, anticipating hydraulic features that can develop at different water levels and potentially create challenging lateral waves and keeper holes near the mid-section of the rapid.
