Description

The USGS gauge is at Richards Street. Just past this, Old Richard Street crosses the river, and the flow spills across cement under that bridge. Two bridge piers split the flow into three channels. The left and right channels are prone to be pourovers at low/moderate flows, while the center channel will have a fine wave and wave-train. Repeat play is possible.
