Description
237 Mile Rapid features a technical boulder garden with multiple channels that demand precise boat positioning and quick maneuvering. The primary line requires threading between large mid-river rocks and avoiding a powerful diagonal hydraulic on the right side, with potential for boat pinning if paddlers drift off-route. Scout from river right if water levels are uncertain, and be prepared for abrupt direction changes to navigate the rapid's complex current seams.
