Description
Brent's Hole features a technical entry with a powerful center hydraulic that can hold boats and create significant recirculation risk. Experienced paddlers should aim for the river-right line, using momentum to punch through the hole and avoid getting trapped in the central flow, with particular caution needed at medium to high water levels.
