Description
The First Golf Cart Bridge rapid on Ferson Creek presents a narrow passage with potential debris and tight maneuvering around bridge abutments. Paddlers should carefully scout the line and be prepared for potential strainers or low-hanging obstacles near the bridge structure, particularly during lower water levels when navigation becomes more technical.
