Description
Get Right is a transition rapid leading into the lower section of the Thompson River before entering Lake Jocassee, characterized by a complex boulder field that requires precise boat positioning and technical maneuvering. Paddlers must carefully navigate between scattered rocks and potential hydraulic features, maintaining a clean line that avoids potential pinning or entrapment hazards. While specific difficulty ratings are not established, the rapid demands attentive route-finding and skilled boat control.
