Description
Iron Bridge rapid presents a technical section with multiple mid-stream boulder formations that create complex water breaks and potential pinning hazards. Paddlers should carefully navigate the center-left line to avoid exposed rocks and potential hydraulics near the bridge abutments, with heightened caution required during lower water levels when submerged obstacles become more prominent.
