Hooper gauging Weir

American Whitewater 37.3095, -118.9610

Save this feature with the run it belongs to.

No sufficiently local live gauge linked. 1 automated match was excluded because the closest is 100.0 miles away. Use the parent run and local sources before making a trip decision.

Description

A steep continuous rapid curves gradually to the right, piles up against a cliff on the right then bounces left and drops over a 6 to 8 foot high dam.    At 750 cfs in 2003 all boaters ran the weir, but it looked sticky in spots.  Good eddies await below the weir. 

Many boaters will want to scout this whole section.
