Description
This unnamed Class II rapid on the Dead River offers a straightforward run with moderate wave trains and scattered boulder garden sections. Paddlers should stay alert for potential rock dodging in the middle section and maintain a center-left line to avoid shallow spots near the right bank. Standard line follows the main current, with minimal technical maneuvering required.
