Description
Put In rapid marks the start of the challenging Crab Orchard Falls section, featuring a technical entrance with tight boulder-strewn channels requiring precise maneuvering. Paddlers must negotiate a series of closely spaced rocks and potential undercuts, with limited margin for error in the initial drop. Careful scouting and a clean line are critical to safely entering the more consequential downstream rapids.
