Description

The Trestle Wave is a small surf feature located near a historic railroad trestle at the confluence of South Platte River and Cherry Creek in downtown Denver. This urban playspot offers a relatively consistent wave for kayakers to practice surfing and play techniques, though water levels and wave quality can vary significantly with flow conditions. Paddlers should be aware of potential urban debris and the proximity to bridge structures when navigating this spot.
