Description
Cherry Creek Rapid presents a straightforward Class II challenge with a series of moderate waves and potential rock dodging near river mile 82.3. Paddlers should be prepared to navigate a moderate current with some scattered mid-channel rocks, maintaining an attentive line to avoid potential hydraulic features. While not extremely technical, the rapid requires standard river reading skills and awareness of potential channel shifts during varying water levels.
