Description
Highway 22 rapid presents a straightforward river passage with minimal technical challenges, primarily characterized by moderate current and scattered boulder fields. Paddlers should remain alert for potential submerged rocks and maintain a clean line through the central channel, particularly during low to moderate water levels. While not a highly technical rapid, attentive navigation and standard whitewater awareness are recommended to avoid potential pin or entrapment hazards.
