Description

The Little Wave rapid offers a minor technical challenge with a small wave feature on the river's left side. Paddlers should be prepared to navigate around potential submerged rocks and maintain good boat control through the short drop. While not a high-difficulty section, situational awareness and proper line selection remain important for a clean run.
