Description
Chair Creek Rapid presents a complex Class III challenge with a technical boulder-strewn entry and a series of pushy center-stream hydraulics that demand precise maneuvering. Paddlers should focus on a center-right line to avoid the large midstream rocks and potential keeper holes, maintaining momentum through the rapid's multiple ledge drops and avoiding the recirculating zones along the edges.
