Description

Weir #2 is a low-head dam structure that creates a uniform, potentially dangerous hydraulic with a consistent recirculating hole across its entire width. Paddlers should avoid this feature entirely, as the uniform hydraulic can trap boats and swimmers, making escape difficult or impossible. Portage is recommended on river right or left, depending on local access and water levels.
