Description

Powerline Ledge is a rocky, technical drop featuring a narrow main channel with potential undercut rocks on river left and a sharp gradient change. Paddlers should carefully scout the line, prioritizing precise boat positioning to avoid potential pin hazards and navigate the tight downstream approach. The rapid's namesake powerlines overhead create additional visual complexity when assessing the run.
