Description
This ledge/drop rapid features a challenging vertical descent with potential for hydraulic recirculation at the bottom. Paddlers should carefully scout the drop to identify the cleanest line and assess the risk of pin points or underwater obstructions. Precise boat positioning and momentum management are critical for safely navigating this technical section of the Sturgeon River.
