Description

Powerline Crossing is a section of whitewater characterized by its tight channel and potential for complex hydraulics beneath the overhead power transmission lines. Paddlers should be prepared for potential obstructions and carefully scout the line, as the narrow passage and potential for shifting debris can create unpredictable water conditions that require precise navigation.
