Description
Roxbury Rapid features a series of technical boulder gardens that require precise maneuvering, with several sharp rocks creating potential pinning hazards in the main channel. Paddlers should aim for the center-right line to avoid a large midstream boulder and navigate through a set of closely spaced Class II waves that can push boats toward undercut rock formations on the river's edge.
