Description
Little Lucia Rapid presents a straightforward Class II- technical challenge with scattered rocks and small ledges requiring precise maneuvering. Paddlers should stay alert for potential mid-channel boulder clusters and aim for clean lines on river right, where the channel offers the most predictable flow. While not extremely difficult, the rapid demands attentive navigation to avoid potential pin or broach hazards around the rock features.
