Gibson Mill Dam

Gibson Mill Dam presents a technical Class III rapid with a complex boulder garden and multiple hydraulic features created by the remnant dam structure. Paddlers must navigate a tight, technical line through intermittent ledge drops and large scattered rocks, with particular attention required to avoid potential recirculating holes on river left near the old dam foundation. The rapid demands precise boat positioning and strong maneuvering skills, with potential for pin hazards and channel complexity during varying water levels.
