Description

Boars Rapids features a tight, technical channel with several closely-spaced boulder gardens that demand precise boat positioning and quick maneuvering. Paddlers should be prepared for potential pin hazards among the rocks and maintain a sharp line to avoid getting wedged between mid-stream obstacles. While not exceptionally steep, the rapid requires constant attention and intermediate skills to navigate successfully.
