Description

Rapids is a technical Class III drop with a series of staggered diagonal waves and a tight central channel requiring precise boat positioning. The rapid features a prominent mid-stream boulder that creates a significant hydraulic on river right, demanding careful navigation and an aggressive upstream ferry to avoid the recirculating hole. Paddlers should scout from river left and aim for the clean tongue between the center rock and the right-side obstruction, maintaining momentum through the turbulent water.
