Description
Second Helping is a technical Class II+ rapid characterized by a series of moderate boulder gardens and diagonal waves that require precise maneuvering. Paddlers must navigate a complex line that weaves between large mid-stream rocks, with the primary channel shifting depending on water levels and requiring careful route selection. At higher flows, the rapid can develop more dynamic hydraulics, demanding quick boat control and the ability to read and react to rapidly changing water conditions.
