Description
This straightforward Class II rapid follows The Basin and offers a clean, predictable run with minimal technical challenges. Paddlers should focus on navigating the moderate waves and scattered mid-stream rocks, maintaining a center-right line to avoid potential shallow spots near the banks. While not particularly demanding, the rapid requires standard whitewater awareness and basic maneuvering skills.
