Description

This river crossing at Highway 48 marks the first major access point on the Grindstone's Hinckley Dam run, providing paddlers a clear entry and exit option. While specifics of the rapid are not detailed, the location suggests potential transition zones or mild hydraulics near the road bridge that warrant careful navigation during varying water levels.
