Description
In Cataract Canyon, Rapid 25 offers a straightforward Class III descent with moderate wave trains and consistent flow down the center channel. Paddlers should maintain a direct line through the rapid, watching for potential lateral waves and maintaining momentum to navigate the main current. While generally manageable for experienced boaters, situational awareness and proper boat positioning are key to a clean run.
