Description
2003-06-01 Jeff Stiegman provides: _"There is a nice little spot at the railroad trestle_ (just downstream of Dexter Huron Metropark). _There is a nice surf wave about 300 yds upstream from Zeeb Rd. (about 2 miles upstream from Delhi)._ _Both have reasonably good surf waves and stern squirt potential at flows above 500 cfs. The local clubs use these spots for instruction._ _The rapids at Delhi offers great eddy practice for beginners with a half dozen tight eddies and small drops spread along its 150 yd length. But it gets pretty boney below 400 cfs._ _Tubbs (3/4 mile below Delhi) washes out into a series of near river wide wave trains above 800 cfs._ 'RStorz' provides: _" Delhi Rapids right at Delhi park off of Huron River Drive:_ _a nice wave up at the top and then about 150 yard or so of whitewater, some decent eddylines near the bottom, although I am reluctant to play in them because of rumors of re-bar near the bridge._ _A little further downstream is another play spot called Tubbs Rapids_ _a river wide drop in the river_\[with\] _really nice eddylines and a couple little waves to surf."_ Check out Delhi Rapids in the video below.
