Description

Haystacks is a powerful Class IV rapid featuring a series of large, closely-spaced standing waves that create a challenging and technical descent. Paddlers must navigate a complex line through the center of the rapid, avoiding potential holes and using precise momentum to punch through the stacked haystack waves while maintaining control in the turbulent water.
