Description
Potter's Ford rapid on the Obed River presents a technical descent with multiple mid-stream boulder gardens and potential pin hazards. Navigating this section requires precise boat positioning and careful route selection to avoid undercut rocks and potential strainers in the constricted channel. Paddlers should scout carefully and be prepared for swift current and potential wood debris, especially during lower water levels.
