Description
Hogback is a Class II rapid characterized by a series of moderate boulder gardens and small ledge drops that require precise maneuvering between rocks. Paddlers should stay alert for potential pin hazards in the rocky constriction and aim for the main channel, which typically offers the cleanest line with minimal obstruction. At moderate to low water levels, some rocks may become more exposed, increasing the technical difficulty of navigating the rapid.
