Description

Named after seeing several Redtail Hawks in the tree right above the wave, this is the best low water play feature on the creek. At levels around 400 cfs, this is a great front surfing wave that is so much fun to carve on until you are bored or (again) are getting the stink eye from your group. It's pretty shallow here, but I'm sure better boaters could throw blunts on this. EASY eddy serve on river left and you can keep getting back into it over and over again. Not usually all that great above 800 cfs. Just good, clean fun!

At higher water, a wave train forms that is good for wavewheels. Most levels have a wave train that you can play in after you are done in the surf wave.
