Description

A moderate Class II rapid with a series of small standing waves and scattered mid-channel rocks that require careful boat positioning. The main current runs left of center, with a clear channel that avoids potential pin spots near the right bank's boulder field. Paddlers should be prepared for moderate maneuverability requirements and maintain momentum through the wave train.
