Description

As you exit Hidden Channel, stay to the left to connect to the far-left channel. The Mill Wave channel features really come to life at a range of around 6,000 - 10,000 cfs and higher. Water spilling off this part of the dam flows across shallow sloping bedrock, and can form a smorgasbord of surfing opportunities starting on far river-right/surfers-left of this channel, culminating at far river-left/surfers-right with the Mill Wave. Mill Wave has good eddy service and becomes a bigger, better breaking wave at higher levels, but don't forget how shallow the water is. A flip here may mean a close encounter with the flat limestone riverbed.

At higher flows, boaters may wish to carry up the bedrock toward the dam to ferry across to a couple wide upper waves which can provide good surfs. Fair eddy service exists to allow repeat play of these waves, if they are well formed enough to entertain you.
