Description

As you approach and pass under another bikeway bridge, the river takes a sweeping bend to the left. If you have high water, you will encounter a fine little wave-train through this area. A few waves (mostly upstream of the bridge) may allow catch-on-the-fly surfs (pretty much just front-surfs, not likely to allow spins or any other moves ... maybe enough depth at high flows to ender-out).

NOTE: at high water, it may be advantageous to stay to the left (out of the strong current) to keep from being swept too qiuckly into what lies downstream. As of 2025, there have been trees and branches (from river-left) hanging low to the water. You need to ensure you have clearance through here!
