Description
Rapids presents a technical Class III challenge with a series of moderate but consistent boulder-strewn drops that require precise boat positioning and careful line selection. Paddlers should be prepared for tight channels between large mid-river rocks and potential hydraulics that can develop at different water levels, with the primary route typically running center-right and demanding attentive maneuvering to avoid potential pin spots and keeper holes.
