Description
Rapids is a technical Class III rapid with multiple boulder-strewn channels that require precise maneuvering between mid-river rocks and strong lateral currents. Paddlers should scout the main drop from river right and aim for the center-left line to avoid a powerful recirculating hole near the right bank, with careful attention to the sequence of hydraulics that can quickly push boats off-line.
