Description
An old rickety (private) bridge is signal for a sweet little wave.
Recreational paddlers will easily 'punch through', while whitewater boaters will likely wish to stall their downstream speed for a 'catch-on-the-fly' surf here. Depending upon flow, this may or may not be regainable, since it lies between vertical bridge-piers. (At 470 cfs, I was unable to regain it.) Depth seems good enough that it could allow vertical moves (unproven, since there was so much algae present the one time I have paddled this that I really didn't want to risk having to roll).
