Description
Surfer's Alley is a class II rapid characterized by a series of rolling waves and moderate current that provides a fun, technical run through a narrow channel. Paddlers should stay alert for potential rock obstacles mid-channel and maintain a center-right line to avoid potential side-surfing in the smaller hydraulics. At moderate water levels, this rapid offers good practice for boat control and reading water, but can become more challenging with increased flow.
