Description

Private Bridge rapid on Ferson Creek features a narrow constriction with potential for debris and submerged obstacles due to limited clearance under the bridge structure. Paddlers should carefully scout the rapid and be prepared to navigate tight channels, watching for potential strainers or fallen branches that could create unexpected hazards during high water conditions.
