Description
A substantial ledge drop creates a complex hydraulic with potential for recirculating holes and unpredictable water movement. Paddlers must carefully navigate the rocky descent, selecting a precise line to avoid potential entrapment zones and manage the abrupt vertical change in river gradient. Scouting is recommended to assess current water levels and identify the most navigable route through this technical section.
