Description
This ledge-sequence rapid features a series of small drop-offs that create choppy water and potential hydraulic features at different water levels. Paddlers should be prepared to navigate through tight lines between exposed rocks and potentially shifting water dynamics, with careful attention to boat positioning and momentum. While not highly technical, the rapid requires standard whitewater awareness and the ability to make quick directional adjustments.
