Description
This section of the Yellow River features a complex rapid with multiple potential channels and scattered boulder obstacles that require precise maneuvering. Paddlers should be prepared to navigate tight lines between mid-stream rocks and potential undercut formations, with water levels significantly impacting route selection and difficulty. While specific difficulty is unrated, situational awareness and technical boat control will be critical for safe passage.
