Description
Roughshod presents a technical Class III challenge with a series of large, closely-spaced waves that demand precise boat positioning and powerful paddling. Paddlers must navigate between substantial pourovers and potential hydraulic features, with the primary line requiring a strong right-to-left angle to avoid potential rock hazards on the river's right side.
