Description
Jackson Bar Rapid features a technical boulder garden with multiple channels that require precise maneuvering between large midstream rocks. The main line runs river right, with increasing difficulty at lower water levels where exposed rocks create more complex routes and potential pin hazards. Paddlers should scout carefully and be prepared to make quick boat positioning adjustments to avoid hydraulics and avoid getting trapped between boulders.
