Description
Crud marks the entrance to the Middle Fork Payette's notorious Gorge section, characterized by tight, technical maneuvering between partially submerged boulders and potential undercut rocks. Paddlers must carefully navigate the constricted channel, maintaining precise boat control to avoid hazardous hydraulics and sharp rock formations that can quickly compromise line choice and boat integrity.
