Description
"Triple Drop" (III).   Paddlers running straight through will run to the river right of the center rock, but must hug the river right side of the rock (i.e. stay left) to avoid a flipping/pinning rock on the river right side of the main current.  For players:  the first ledge drop is approximately one-two feet high and provides a nice river wide side surfing hole. The surfing wave can be entered from a river left eddy. From the river left eddy ferry across the creek to the river right eddy to the next and best surfing hole on the creek.   This creek wide surfing hole is steeper than the top surf wave and 360 degree spins can be done at medium water levels. At low water levels, straight on surfing with sharp cut backs can be carved. Below this the creek drops another ten feet in approximately four small steps. Each step has its own small surfing wave.
