Description
WPR often means 'Wisconsin Public Radio', but in this case it means Watertown Plank Road. This hydraulic jump of about 25-inches tends not to be as sticky as the others at most flows. (At higher flows, water sheets away at the base, and into a bit of a frothy wave/hole that's easy to punch through.)
