Description
The S-Turn rapid features a technical entry with a narrow line between two large mid-stream boulders that require precise maneuvering. Paddlers must navigate a series of diagonal waves and a moderate hole near the center of the channel, with the best route hugging the right side to avoid recirculating water and maintain momentum through the rapid's curved descent.
