Excellent Surf Wave Below the bridge at High Flows and two amazing waves upstream of the bridge.
One of the Waves is in the Center of the river, you can't miss it. The second in off a ledge
right next to shore and is eddy serviced. This is an super fun spot in the spring and during high
flows.
Beware that at higher flows, a killer hydraulic forms over the ledge that is visible during low
water.
We have no additional information about how various flows affect runnability (or playability) of this section of river. If you can provide additional information, please either directly contact the StreamTeam member for this reach, or add a 'comment' or a 'report' with your information to help out your fellow boaters.

great....kinda hard to set up sometimes but a crazy shoulder thats really steep the entry onto the
wave is kinda like dropping into a half pipe. Just make shure u watch out for the trees in the eddy
they can be a real pain. Also try to say away from the left side of the wave its really
flushy..there is a big wave hole thing in the middle of the river that can be fun....
