Description

A constriction rapid on river left narrows the channel and creates turbulent water with potential for hydraulic features. Paddlers should be prepared for tight maneuvering and potential obstacles near the left bank, with a recommended line that avoids the most concentrated flow and potential keeper holes. Careful route selection and boat control are critical to successfully navigating this Class II+ rapid.
