Pot Shoals

Pot Shoals is a technical Class III rapid with a complex boulder-strewn descent that requires precise maneuvering between large rocks and powerful hydraulics. Paddlers must navigate a series of tight slots and avoid several undercut boulders, with the primary line running center-right and demanding quick boat control to avoid potential pin spots and keeper holes. Scout this rapid carefully from river right, as the consequences of a mistake can be serious, especially at lower water levels when the rock placement becomes more challenging.
