Description
The Little Thompson Rapid offers a straightforward Class II run with moderate wave trains and scattered boulder gardens that require precise maneuvering. Paddlers should be alert for potential midstream rocks and take the center-right line to avoid shallow areas and potential pin spots. Flow levels can significantly impact the rapid's character, so scouting is recommended during lower water conditions.
