Description

Ben Burton Shoals presents a continuous Class II rapid with a series of small ledges and scattered rock gardens that require precise maneuvering. Paddlers should anticipate multiple potential routes through the shoals, with the main channel offering the cleanest line but demanding careful boat control to avoid potential pin spots on mid-stream boulders. During low water, the rapid becomes more technical, with increased risk of boat damage if paddlers do not carefully choose their path through the rocky terrain.
