Description

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.
