Description
The First Slide rapid on the Thompson River appears to be a relatively nondescript section, with limited information available about its specific characteristics. Paddlers approaching this stretch should be prepared for potential unmarked hazards and should scout the rapid carefully before attempting a run, particularly given the lack of a clear difficulty rating.
