Description

Iron Bridge rapid features a technical boulder garden with multiple challenging line choices and potential pin hazards among large, closely-spaced rocks. The primary route requires precise boat positioning and quick maneuvering to avoid potential hydraulics and sharp rock edges, with the most straightforward line typically threading along the river right through a series of diagonal breaks in the boulder field.
