Description

Swimming Hole Rapid features a technical entrance with a narrow, boulder-strewn channel that demands precise boat positioning and quick maneuvering. The rapid's namesake hole can be unpredictable at different water levels, creating a potentially challenging centerline that requires skilled paddlers to either punch through or carefully navigate around the hydraulic. Scouting from the left eddy is recommended to assess the current line and identify potential hazards.
