Description
Right turn is an unmarked rapid on the Thompson River between NC 281 and Lake Jocassee, characterized by a sharp rightward bend that can create unexpected hydraulics and potential pinning hazards. Paddlers should be prepared to navigate the turn's potential for swirling currents and maintain precise boat control to avoid rocky obstructions along the inside and outside of the bend.
