Description
Rock Garden is a technical stretch of river requiring precise boat control and route-finding through a dense field of mid-sized boulders and irregular rock formations. Paddlers must carefully navigate narrow channels and avoid potential pin hazards, with multiple potential lines that demand quick decision-making and precise maneuvering. The rapid's complexity increases during lower water levels, where exposed rocks create additional obstacles and reduced margin for error.
