Description
The Middle Fork Confluence rapid features a technical entry with multiple large boulders creating unpredictable hydraulics and requiring precise boat positioning. Paddlers must navigate a series of offset drops and ledges that create powerful recirculating holes on river left, with the safest line running a tight channel between mid-river rocks and the right bank.
