Description

This moderate Class III rapid features a technical boulder garden with multiple channels and potential for pins on river-left rocks. Paddlers should aim for the center-right line to avoid hydraulic features and navigate around a prominent midstream boulder, maintaining momentum through a series of staggered waves and small ledge drops.
