Description
Tree Rapid features a technical entry with a large midstream boulder creating a split channel that demands precise boat positioning. The rapid's primary line runs river right, requiring paddlers to navigate around the boulder and avoid a powerful recirculating hole on the left side that can easily trap boats. Careful scouting is recommended, as the rapid's namesake debris and potential wood hazards can change the run's characteristics between seasons.
