Description
This 420-foot Class II rapid features a series of moderate waves and scattered rock gardens that require attentive navigation. Paddlers should be prepared to read and react to the river's changing surface, maintaining a clean line through the most technical sections while watching for potential obstacles near the riverbanks. While not extremely challenging for experienced whitewater paddlers, the rapid demands consistent boat control and situational awareness.
