Description
Rock Garden is a technical rapid characterized by a dense field of exposed and submerged boulders requiring precise boat positioning and careful route selection. Paddlers must navigate a complex maze of rocks with multiple potential lines, demanding constant maneuvering and quick decision-making to avoid pinning or broaching. The rapid's tight spacing between obstacles and potential for shifting water levels make it a challenging section that requires advanced boat control and situational awareness.
