Description
Bunghole Rapid presents a straightforward Class II challenge with a series of moderate waves and scattered boulder gardens that require precise maneuvering. Paddlers should focus on a center-right line to avoid potential hidden rocks and smaller hydraulics, maintaining momentum through the main current to cleanly navigate the rapid's moderate complexity.
