Description
Old Dam rapid presents a remnant hydraulic feature from a former dam structure, creating potential recirculating water and submerged debris. Paddlers should carefully scout and navigate the complex currents, being alert for potential undercut rocks and shifting channel dynamics. The rapid's characteristics can vary significantly with water levels, requiring precise route selection and technical maneuvering.
