Description
The Last Stretch presents a technical Class III challenge with a prominent breaking wave that demands precise boat positioning and skilled edge control. Paddlers must navigate a tight entry line that transitions quickly into the main surf zone, with submerged rocks creating complex hydraulics on river left that can unexpectedly redirect boats. A clean run requires reading the water's dynamic surface and maintaining momentum through the wave's most powerful section.
