Description

This unmarked rapid on the Jump River presents a technical descent with multiple mid-stream boulder obstacles requiring precise boat positioning and careful route selection. Paddlers should be prepared to navigate a series of tight channels between rocks, with potential for unexpected hydraulics and the need for quick maneuvering to avoid potential pinning hazards.
