Description
Put In rapid offers a technical entry to this Boardman River section, with multiple narrow channels threading between partially submerged boulders that require precise boat positioning. Paddlers should be prepared for tight maneuvering and potential pin hazards, especially at lower water levels, with a recommended line that hugs the river right to avoid mid-stream obstructions.
