Description

Riffles and small waves characterize this section, with scattered rock gardens creating varied micro-features that require attentive navigation. While not technically difficult, paddlers should maintain awareness of potential shallow spots and rock pinning hazards during lower water levels. No significant drops or hydraulics present, making this an accessible stretch for intermediate boaters familiar with reading water.
