Description
Mellow Mallard Rapid features a straightforward channel with moderate wave trains and scattered boulder gardens that require basic maneuvering skills. Paddlers should stay alert for potential mid-river rocks and choose a center-right line to avoid potential shallow spots near the edges. At typical flows, this Class II rapid offers a clean run with minimal technical challenges but still demands attentive navigation.
