1st Boulder Garden

RapidClass IV36.08609, -84.57539

Description

This rapid is a boulder field divided by an island. The left line can be run at higher flows but at low water, it is full of bad pin rocks. The right side is more commonly run at all flows, and is junky and has pin rocks as well, just less so.

The right line seems to carry more water. Just be careful in the entrance as there is a badly undercut boulder on the left that has a lot of water going under. Many portage the entrance, walk 20ft and seal launch back in.

Just pick your way through this field of boulders. A few are undercut. You might need to take a quick scout.
