Description
This chute on the Potato River presents a technical descent through a narrow, boulder-strewn channel with potential for significant hydraulic features. Paddlers should carefully scout the line, paying close attention to potential rock pins and the positioning of key obstacles that could create unexpected swirling currents or submerged hazards. A clean run requires precise boat control and the ability to make quick, decisive maneuvers through the constricted flow.
