Description
The Manitou River's rapids between County Road 7 and Highway 61 feature tight technical passages with frequent boulder gardens and ledge drops that demand precise boat positioning. Paddlers must navigate a series of challenging Class III-IV moves through narrow chutes, with significant potential for pin hazards and required precise line selection through rock-strewn sections.
