Description

The longest individual rapid on Section 3. The river will bend to the left, and the Narrows will show itself. The most important move is the first wave train/hole, where the river funnels to the middle, next to a couple undercut rocks. If you swim, stay in the middle of the river until you clear the undercuts.
