Description

This moderate Class II rapid features a series of small waves and scattered mid-stream boulders that require careful navigation. Paddlers should aim for the center-left channel to avoid potential rock pins and maintain momentum through the quickening current. While not technically demanding, the rapid's scattered obstacles and moderate gradient demand attentive line selection and basic maneuvering skills.
