Description

At the railroad bridge, paddlers encounter a series of small waves that can provide modest technical challenge during higher water levels. While primarily a Class I rapid, attentive line selection is important to avoid potential rock obstacles near the bridge's concrete supports. Experienced paddlers should maintain awareness of potential hydraulic features during elevated river conditions.
