Description

Just downstream of the Freedom Avenue bridge (the next automobile bridge after Standard Steel dam), there is a nice series of three surf waves.

The top wave is nearly river wide has a very nice laminar wave on river left side, and more of a hole feature on river right. This wave is best right around 4.4' to 4.6'. Catch the eddy on river left for a nice spot to hop on to the wave.

There are two other lower holes/wave features in this rapid, making the second and third drops of triple drop. They are both surfable at various levels, but not quite as good as the upper feature. If you would like to walk back up to surf this wave, do so on river left.
