Description
Big House Rapid features a prominent midstream boulder and a slightly angled entry that requires precise boat positioning to avoid potential pin spots on the river right rocks. The main current creates a series of choppy Class II waves that can become pushier at higher water levels, with the most straightforward line running just left of center. Paddlers should be prepared to make quick directional adjustments and maintain momentum through the rapid's intermediate features.
