Description
Zig-Zag is a complex rapid characterized by a series of diagonal rock formations that force paddlers to make multiple directional adjustments through a constricted channel. Precise boat positioning and quick maneuvering are critical to successfully navigating the tight turns and potential hydraulic features that can develop at different water levels. Paddlers should scout this section carefully and be prepared for potential pin or entrapment hazards among the rocky obstacles.
