Description
Third Warm-Up is a straightforward Class II rapid with a moderate gradient and scattered rock gardens that require precise maneuvering. Paddlers should aim for the center-right channel to avoid potential shallow spots and small hydraulics near the river's left bank. While not technically demanding, the rapid demands steady boat control and attentive line selection to navigate cleanly.
