Description
Folley's End Campground rapid features a tight, technical entry with multiple submerged boulder clusters that create unpredictable hydraulics and require precise boat positioning. The primary line runs river right, threading between two large mid-channel rocks, with a consequential hole at high water that can easily flip or hold boats. Paddlers should scout carefully and be prepared for quick maneuvering, as the rapid's gradient and rock placement demand active route selection and immediate corrective strokes.
