Description
Golf Cart Bridge rapid is characterized by a narrow constriction with a technical boulder garden that creates multiple challenging lines and potential pinning hazards. Paddlers must navigate a series of staggered rocks and a sharp hydraulic near the center-right of the channel, requiring precise boat control and careful route selection to avoid potential entrapment zones.
