Description

Put In rapid on the North Yuba marks the start of the run, offering paddlers an immediate technical entry with a series of mid-sized boulder gardens and potential pin hazards. Navigating the rapid requires careful boat positioning and reading water, with multiple potential lines that demand precise maneuvering between exposed rocks and potential hydraulic features.
