|
Class I - Easy. Fast
moving water with riffles and small waves.
Few obstructions, all obvious and easily
missed with little training.
|
|
Class II - Novice.
Straightforward rapids with wide, clear
channels which are evident without scouting.
Occasional maneuvering may be required, but
rocks and medium-sized waves are easily
missed.
|
|
Class III -
Intermediate. Rapids with moderate,
irregular waves. Complex maneuvers in fast
current and good boat control in tight
passages or around ledges are often
required; large waves or strainers may be
present but are easily avoided. Strong
eddies and powerful current effects can be
found, particularly on large-volume rivers.
Scouting is advisable for inexperienced
parties. Self-rescue is usually easy but
group assistance may be required to avoid
long swims.
