• Grade III Rapids with high, irregular waves often capable of swamping an open canoe. Narrow passages that often require complex maneuvering.Rapids may require scouting from shore. Boaters in kayaks should have the ability to Eskimo Roll.

• Grade IV Long, difficult rapids with constricted passages and often

         turbulent waters. Scouting from shore is necessary, and
         conditions make rescue difficult. Generally not possible for
         open canoes. Boaters in kayaks should have the ability to Eskimo
         Roll.

         congested routes which always should be scouted from shore. Rescue
         conditions are difficult, and there is significant hazard to life

         boaters in kayaks.
