Description
This sustained Class II rapid stretches for nearly half a mile, featuring consistent small waves and scattered rock gardens that require active maneuvering. Paddlers should stay alert for shifting channels and potential mid-stream boulders, particularly during lower water levels when rocky sections become more exposed. The rapid offers a good warm-up section with mild technical challenges that demand steady boat control and precise line selection.
