Gauge Conditions
Runnable: 700.0 – 3,000.0 CFS
Description

Marked by three former railroad bridge abutments -- the bridge itself is long gone. The center abutment offers some interesting attainment practice -- you can do laps around it until you get tired.

For running this, start from between the center and river right bridge abutments to ride small waves, working eddies and pourovers by the concrete revetment under the bikeway.

There are some surfing options here as well: The top wave/hole can be caught on the fly with a little practice and luck, and below it are some surfable waves with reasonable eddy service. Once you progress past this point, a couple of the waves below are also surfable if caught right.
