Description

Moose Wedge is a technical Class III drop characterized by a tight entrance between angled boulder formations that create a complex hydraulic. Paddlers must navigate a narrow, right-angled line with potential for lateral waves and a recirculating hole near the center of the rapid, requiring precise boat positioning and quick maneuvering to avoid potential pin or flip hazards.
