Description
Trench Rapid features a technical boulder-strewn entry with multiple narrow chutes that require precise boat positioning and quick maneuvering. The rapid's center line contains a powerful hydraulic hole midway through the run that can potentially flip boats if not navigated carefully, with the best route typically hugging the right side to avoid the most aggressive water features.
