Description
Rocky Garden presents a technical Class II+ challenge with a series of closely spaced boulder obstacles that require precise maneuvering and good boat control. Paddlers should plan their route carefully, identifying clean channels between rocks and watching for potential pinning hazards, particularly at lower water levels. The rapid's tight spacing and varied water features demand active paddling and the ability to make quick directional adjustments.
