Description
Potter's Ford rapid on the Obed River presents a technical navigation challenge with multiple mid-stream boulder obstacles and potential undercut rocks near the entry. Paddlers should carefully scout the line and be prepared to make precise maneuvers to avoid potential pin or entrapment hazards in the narrow channel. Water levels significantly impact the rapid's difficulty and recommended approach.
