Hello All,
Excuse my ignorance. But, just what the heck are factory rapids?
Any input is appreciated.

Any context is helpful.
Bin on over 1,000 whitewater trips and never encountered a "factory"
rapid, though I've run rapids named Iron Ring, Mill Rapid, Savage Mill,
and Ouella Mill, and there is one in Maine named Cribworks.
IOW, best I can guess is that "factory" is part of the name given to a
rapid, but, with no context, how can anyone guess?

There is a place called Factory Shoals on the Alcovy River east of
Atlanta. Great big Class III playground in the middle of a Class I-II
stream. Did I say middle? Maybe used to be, now it's just above where
the Alcovy becomes Jackson Lake. Also Factory Rapid on the Deerfield;
runs next to a...aww, you guessed. Also on the Kokosing in Ohio.
But to be honest, I think the OP was asking about a category of rapids,
not a particular one, and I've never hear of a "factory rapid."

Au Contraire', Oci,
River left, below Bull Falls, but above Harpers Ferry -
File Factory Rapid! But that was back in your novice paddling
days, a long time ago. Perhaps the memory slips. Tom McCloud

Well, I'm more of a recreational kayaker, not a whitewater kayaker, but
if I'm not mistaken, factory rapids are those that are controllable.
Horrible definition, I know, but that's the best I can do. The first
thing that comes to mind is the kayaking event in the Olympics last
year. Those "rapids" were man-made, so to speak, not from rocks in a
river. Someone out there who does whitewater......help!!! I think I
nailed it, but not quite sure. :-) ~Kathy
