Description

The Narrows is a constricted rapid with a technical entry that requires precise boat positioning to avoid large midstream boulders and a series of offset pourover holes. Paddlers should scout from river right and choose a line that threads between the central rock formations, being prepared to make quick eddy turns and maneuver through tight spaces. The rapid's difficulty increases with water level, and at higher flows the central features can create significant hydraulic challenges that demand expert boat control.
