River Description
The rapids here can easily be accessed by road and they run nearly year round. They maintain a flow of at least 144cfs at all times. With two generators running or a high level on Toro Bayou the lower rapid is completely washed out. At higher flows, you can paddle down to Chute Fighter Falls.
The spillway will have one gate open 6 inches indefinitely, in order to meet downstream flow requirements. You can verify the status of the gates at http://www.srala-toledo.com/.
This reach is near the Toledo Bend Dam in Texas.
