Description
This technical Class III rapid features a tight, rocky entry with a series of diagonal waves that push boats toward a partially submerged boulder on river right. Paddlers must execute a precise left-side line to avoid the boulder and navigate a steep drop with potential pour-over holes that can create challenging water hydraulics. Strong boat control and quick eddy turns are critical for safely passing through this section of Clear Creek.
