Description
Devil's Toenail Rapid is a technical Class III drop with a complex boulder garden requiring precise maneuvering between large midstream rocks and powerful hydraulics. Paddlers should enter center-right and be prepared to make quick adjustments to avoid a series of sticky holes and potential pin hazards, with the most challenging section concentrated in the middle third of the rapid where current compression creates unpredictable water movement.
