Description

The 1st Cedar Rapids on the Flambeau River presents a straightforward stretch with consistent wave trains and minimal technical challenges. Paddlers should maintain a clean line through the center, watching for potential submerged rocks during lower water conditions. While not a highly demanding rapid, situational awareness and standard whitewater navigation skills are recommended.
