Description
The Little Thompson to Clark Fork confluence section features a Class II rapid with moderate technical challenges, characterized by scattered boulder gardens and small standing waves. Paddlers should navigate carefully through the rock-strewn channel, watching for potential pin hazards and maintaining a clean line through the most constricted sections. The rapid's moderate gradient and mixed water features demand attentive route-finding and precise boat control.
