Description
The Route 94 rapid on the New River offers a straightforward Class II-III section with a consistent current and scattered rock gardens that require precise boat positioning. Paddlers should be aware of potential mid-river boulder clusters and select their line carefully to avoid potential pinning or broaching hazards, with the primary channel typically running center-left during moderate water levels.
