Description
John's Hole is a moderate rapid characterized by a prominent hydraulic near the center of the channel that can create challenges for less experienced paddlers. Boaters should aim to navigate the main flow to the right of the hole, using the clearer channel to maintain momentum and avoid potential recirculation. While not exceptionally technical, the rapid demands attentive line selection and proper boat positioning to manage the potential lateral waves and center obstruction.
