Toledo Bend Dam (PnP)

The rapids are only present during one generator operation. If they generate 24/7 the rapids will wash out, so it's best to go soon after start up. There is a steep trail down on either side of the rapid. The river right trail goes to a large recirculating eddy, with some good wave trains. The river left trail goes down to a rock outcrop with a small eddy. If you continue downstream, beware of a river wide hydraulic at the confluence with the Sabine River. This hydraulic is locally known as the Ghost Wave and it is said to be extremely retentive. To check the generation schedule, visit the Sabine River Authority. Please comment if you experience any access problems. This reach is near the Toledo Bend Spillway in Louisiana.
