Description

Burnt Shanty Rapids presents a classic Class II boulder garden with numerous scattered rock formations that require precise navigation and momentum. Paddlers should anticipate tight technical lines between rocks, with potential for moderate hydraulics and the need for quick maneuvering to avoid potential pinning or broaching hazards. The rapid demands consistent boat control and the ability to read and react to the dynamic water flow around intermittent boulder clusters.
