Description
Boulder Hole is a technical Class III rapid characterized by a series of large, partially submerged rocks creating complex hydraulics and multiple potential routes. Paddlers must carefully navigate between and around significant mid-river boulders, with the primary channel requiring precise boat positioning to avoid getting stopped in powerful recirculating holes. The rapid demands quick decision-making and strong boat control, with the most straightforward line typically favoring the right side of the river at moderate to high water levels.
