Description

When you see a silo straight ahead, and the river then takes a 90-degree turn to the right, you have arrived at Farm Dam. The dam is no longer here but some remnants flank river-left at the top of the drop. This is a fairly straight forward boulder bed drop with several surf waves, the nicest being on the right at the top. There is a hole about 20 yards into the drop which can get aggressive at higher flows, but this is usually not a problem if you have reasonable downriver momentum and are paddling assertively.
