Description

A moderate drop with a series of diagonal waves and a narrow main channel that requires precise maneuvering between midstream boulders. Paddlers should enter center-right and be prepared to make quick adjustments to avoid potential pin spots along the rocky margins. The rapid offers moderate technical challenge following the longer Mile Long section, with most difficulty concentrated in the first 100 yards.
