Description
Molly's Turn Rapid presents a technical Class III- challenge with a tight entry requiring precise boat positioning between two large mid-river boulders. The rapid features a moderate gradient with a series of moderate standing waves and a slight right-hand bend that demands clean boat control and strategic line selection to avoid potential hydraulic features along the right bank.
