Description
Upper Trout Creek Rapids offers a straightforward Class II run with small waves concentrated along the river's left side, providing moderate technical challenge for intermediate paddlers. Navigating the left channel requires attentive maneuvering around the wave features, with clean lines possible for those maintaining good boat control and reading the water's flow. Paddlers should be prepared for potential rock interactions and maintain awareness of the surrounding currents while executing their descent.
