Description

The Hwy.138/Cooksville rapid on the Badfish River presents a complex navigational challenge with multiple mid-stream boulder fields and unpredictable current shifts. Paddlers should carefully scout the entry point and be prepared for potential pinning hazards around the larger rocks, with the primary line requiring precise maneuvering through a narrow channel on river right.
