Description
Ft. Payne Transit features a technical boulder garden with multiple line choices that require precise maneuvering through tight slots and diagonal hydraulics. Paddlers should be prepared for intermittent ledge drops and potential pin hazards between large rocks, with the primary line requiring a strong right-to-left move to avoid a potentially recirculating center hole.
