Description

Rocky Rapids is a technical Class II rapid featuring a series of large, partially submerged boulders that create challenging zigzag lines and require precise boat positioning. Paddlers must navigate between and around the rocks, with the main channel offering a clean route on river right, but smaller eddies and hydraulics demand careful maneuvering to avoid potential pin hazards. At moderate to high water levels, the rapid can develop more significant waves and increased complexity, requiring attentive route selection and quick boat handling.
