Description
This Class II riffle on the North Fork Salmon presents a straightforward read-and-run section with scattered mid-stream boulders requiring nimble boat positioning. Paddlers should be prepared to make quick directional adjustments to avoid potential pin spots and utilize the left or right channel depending on current water levels and rock placement. While not highly technical, attentive navigation is recommended to maintain clean momentum through the boulder field.
