Description
Lower Driftwood Rapid features a continuous wave train that builds in intensity as it progresses downstream, with several staggered waves requiring precise boat positioning and momentum. Paddlers should be prepared for moderate lateral waves and potential hydraulics near the center line, with the best route typically threading between larger features along the right or left margins of the rapid.
