Description
Fraggle Rock is a technical Class IV drop with a tight, boulder-choked entry that requires precise boat positioning and quick maneuvering between sharp rocks. The rapid features a powerful center hydraulic that can quickly recirculate boats, with the safest line hugging the right side and using momentum to punch through the main hole. Paddlers must be prepared for immediate route adjustments and have strong river-reading skills to successfully navigate this challenging section of Hayfork Creek.
