River Description
This section of Gasper River features rock walls on alternating banks that creates a mini-gorge in the middle of farm country. The mini-gorge is roughly a mile long and consists of serveral wave trains with moving pools of flatwater in-between. There are numerous catch-on-the-fly surfing waves. The remaining 1.75 miles are flat with some current. If you live in the Bowling Green area this is a great quick fix of whitewater.
