No rocks but watch out for the wind coming up river. I sunk a 16ft alumacraft two years ago running up the river with a tailwind. I hit a big wave and came down into a swirl and down she went... I managed to float her to the shore but everything was wet, gas, electronics, me, my brother, etc...that place is as unforgiving as it comes when the flood gates are open and all the turbines are running it has some real bad waves and swells. Good luck to you and keep a mind of the weather for sure, mother nature can creep up on you there fast.
