Description
Single Drop is a technical Class III rapid characterized by a steep gradient and a complex boulder garden that requires precise boat placement. Paddlers must navigate a series of sharp rocks and potential hydraulics, with the primary line running center-right and demanding quick maneuvering to avoid undercut boulders and potential pin hazards. Scout this rapid from river right for the cleanest route, and be prepared for dynamic water conditions that can change significantly with varying water levels.
