Some easy surfing may be possible immediately under the bridge if you
have the skill and confidence to do so above First
Falls (about 6-8'). At the right water levels, enders are
possible in the base of this drop.
|
A few small waves may be present before Second
Falls (about 4-5'), but these might be less playable, since at good
water levels the base of this falls will become quite sticky. You wouldn't
wish to risk dropping into it with little momentum.
|
Beyond this next, larger pool lie some more rapids and Third
Falls. This is a much shorter falls (about 1-2'). However,
the right side has an interesting, small "chicken-ender" slot,
and some surfing may develop at high water.
|
Downstream about a half mile there is a Fourth
Falls, where the river is constricted by some rocks to drop over
an irregular falls of about 4-5'. This falls is less playable than
the ones right in the park, but is an interesting run.
Note: Vidcaps (photos) from low-water scout (1993.06.05).
The river upstream and down from the described area is
almost exclusively flat water and snags, therefore not recommended as a
run. While there are marked "falls" upstream (at the confluence of the
two branches) they are not as big nor as interesting as the ones in Veteran's
Park. |
