Description

This section of the Cedar River through Palisades-Kepler State Park features a complex rapid with multiple potential routes that require precise navigation. While specific difficulty ratings are currently unavailable, paddlers should anticipate potential hydraulic features and potential boulder obstacles that could demand technical maneuvering. Local scouting and current water levels are recommended before attempting this section.
