Description
Sookie's Suckhole is a technical Class III drop characterized by a powerful mid-stream hydraulic and tight rock formations that demand precise boat positioning and quick maneuvering. Paddlers should aim for the river-right line to avoid the substantial recirculating hole in the center and navigate through a series of closely spaced boulders that can create unpredictable cross-currents. Scout this rapid carefully, as the hydraulic can potentially hold boats and swimmers, requiring advanced skills to safely navigate or self-rescue.
