Description

This minor rock garden creates a technical navigational challenge with scattered mid-stream boulders requiring precise boat placement and quick maneuvering. Paddlers should anticipate potential pin hazards and choose careful lines between rocks, with increased difficulty during lower water levels when more obstacles are exposed.
