Description

Before putting on, some boaters may hike upstream to look at the dam above this reach. Depending on which gates of the dam are open (and how much), a couple powerful waves may exist in the outflow.

Boaters who think about putting-in up here to try some surfs on those waves should be aware that they are formed by piles of flat rocks which look almost like large slabs of broken concrete. Extreme caution is advised!

Be aware that doing so would violate the mandate (which exists on nearly every dam on the Fox River) to be no nearer than 500' from the dam. That distance is very nearly at the gated put-in.
