Description
Double Drop on the Thompson River is a challenging rapid with a two-stage vertical drop that requires precise navigation between rocky tiers. Paddlers must carefully thread the line to avoid potential pin hazards on the protruding boulder formations and manage the momentum through the successive drops, which can create powerful hydraulic features depending on water levels.
