Description
Kinks is a technical Class 3 rapid on the Middle Fork Payette that demands precise boat positioning through a series of tight, boulder-strewn drops. Paddlers must navigate a complex line that weaves between undercut rocks and potential hydraulics, with the crux requiring a precise move to avoid a potentially sticky hole on the river's right side.
