Description
The Lower Gypsum Canyon Riffle presents a straightforward Class I passage through mild current and scattered rock formations. Paddlers should maintain a center-line approach to avoid potential shallow spots and minor lateral waves, with good boat control recommended to navigate the scattered rock garden. Water levels can significantly impact route selection, so scouting from shore is advised during lower flow periods.
