Description

Maze presents a technical navigation challenge through a dense field of large, closely-spaced boulders that demand precise boat placement and quick maneuvering. The rapid requires paddlers to thread a careful line, avoiding potential pin spots and using strategic eddy turns to negotiate the complex boulder garden. Careful scouting is recommended to identify the cleanest route and potential hazards.
