Description
Glory Hole features a technical surf wave that builds at medium flows, requiring precise boat positioning and edge control. The river right side offers the cleanest line, but paddlers must navigate a series of small rocks and potential undercuts that can create unexpected hydraulics. Caution is advised during lower water levels when the wave becomes more grabby and the rocky approach increases the risk of pin potential.
