Description
Rocky Point Rapids is a Class II section featuring moderate boulder gardens and scattered rockbars that require precise maneuvering between mid-channel obstacles. The primary challenge lies in navigating the river's right side, where a series of offset rocks create small hydraulics and demand careful boat positioning to avoid potential pin spots. Paddlers should be alert for shifting channels during different water levels and maintain good boat control to cleanly thread through the rapid's technical sections.
