Description
Hydro is a complex rapid full of sticky spots, funky water, and broachy rocks that culminates with a drop into a whopper of a hole. Scout or easy portage on river left. If you portage, beware that the river left eddy at the bottom strongly recirculates into the hole so paddle like you mean it.
