Description

Mary's Hole is a complex hydraulic feature characterized by a powerful recirculating water flow that can easily trap and hold boats and paddlers. Navigating this section requires precise boat positioning and strong paddling skills to avoid getting caught in the potentially dangerous hole, which spans most of the river's width at certain water levels.
