Description

The Notch is a technical Class IV drop featuring a critical line through a tight channel with a hazardous sieve on river right that demands precise boat positioning and strong paddling skills. Boaters must navigate a series of offset rocks and a powerful hydraulic while avoiding the potentially fatal entrapment zone along the right bank. Careful scouting and a clean, direct approach are essential for safely running this challenging rapid.
