Description
Elbow Basher Rapid is a notorious technical section with multiple boulder garden features that demand precise boat positioning and aggressive maneuvering. Paddlers must navigate a series of tight slots and sharp-edged rocks that can easily catch unwary boaters, with potential for pin hazards and boat damage if the wrong line is chosen.
