Description
Tunnel of Love is a technical Class III rapid characterized by a narrow, rock-studded channel that requires precise navigation between tight obstacles. Paddlers must thread carefully through a series of large boulders and pourover rocks, with potential for undercut hazards on river left and a powerful midstream hole that can quickly flip unwary boaters. A clean line requires careful boat positioning and quick maneuvering to avoid potential pin or entrapment risks.
