Description

Located on the middle left side of the Hollywood Dam. Ferry to the far side (river left) of the river after coming out of the Reedy Creek channel. Look for some exposed rocks just in front of the dam and the downriver current. There is a 30 foot wide break in the dam that drops about five feet over the course of the slide. At High water (above 8 feet) the damn creates a keeper hole and Grumans is not a recommended line. Grumman has a good 360 hole and is best between 5.5ft and 8.5ft. Be careful this is a very shallow spot and the rocks are sharp.
