Description
Babson Lane Bobble appears to be a potentially technical section with submerged boulders or a remnant boulder dam that could create unpredictable water features. Paddlers should carefully scout this section, as the boulder presence suggests potential pinning hazards and the need for precise boat positioning and line selection through the rapid.
