Description
Black Rock Rapid presents a technical Class III challenge with a series of large, closely-spaced diagonal waves and a powerful center channel that demands precise boat positioning. Paddlers should be prepared to navigate a tight line between two large mid-river rocks and be ready to make quick adjustments to avoid potential hydraulics on river right, which can create unexpected lateral water movement.
