River Description:

Clay Wright 2004-02-06 22:33:58 3.5 to 4.5' great play on the lower.
After a few good waves you get to the first river-wide hole. Eddy both sides - it's excellent for all tricks- even loops.
There is one hole on a right bend shortly below the surf spot which feeds into a left eddy backed by a rock and wall, and it comes up fast. Left to right cut required, or out the back of the eddy.

The 'undercut right wall' is easy to go left of if you see it coming in advance - stay left each time you see big cliff on river right and you'll breeze it.

Several flooded islands make it hard to find the river-bad. We often found clean channels far right.

Best front-surfing just below confluence with a big creek on left. You'll want to walk back up again and again - a camp on the right makes it possible (kinda long).

Couple more tree-lined mazes (one far right, and go L at the RR bridge) and you're done. < br /> Clay Wright
