Description

A series of consistent wave trains characterize this Class II rapid, offering paddlers a technical but manageable descent with moderate rapids and potential side-to-side maneuvering. Boaters should anticipate closely spaced waves requiring precise boat positioning and steady paddle strokes, with potential for small lateral waves that demand attentive line selection. While not extremely challenging for experienced paddlers, the rapid requires standard whitewater awareness and the ability to read and navigate progressive wave sequences.
