Description
Allen Shoal is a straightforward Class I rapid on the Cacapon River that offers gentle water movement with scattered small rocks and minor wave formations. Paddlers should maintain a steady line through the shoal, watching for potential shallows and minor obstacles during lower water levels. While not technically challenging, attentive navigation is recommended to avoid potential boat contact with rocky sections.
