Blue Rock Rapid

There are several features that the Cincypaddlers have named here, but I include them all in the same rapid.  Those features include:  "Blue Rock Wave" and "Teresa's Other Side". 

This rapid is one of the better ones on the run.  The rapid is directly before and underneath Blue Rock bridge.  "Blue Rock Wave" referenced above I think is now gone.  That was located on river left.  If it's still there, it's not worth the trip over to that side of the river.

On the river right side, you'll start off with a small ledge for surfing.  You can actually spin a small playboat in the dinky holes that are there.  One thing to do is surf, spin, and then ferry across the moving water towards the middle of the river to a small eddy created by a rock.  You can then ferry back across to the eddy below the surfing ledge and do it all over again.

After this little ledge, you head on down through the main drop.  There are a couple holes that always look much better for surfing than they really are.  They tend to be shallow and not too grabby.  Still, the ride down the waves is fun.  Catch the eddy on river right.  The eddyline is decent for enders and squirts.  Water is deep for flipping and rolling. 

You can also try the Blue Rock attainment:  ferry across the chute of water to the other side of the bridge pillars.  Work you way up river on the river left side of the bridge pillars.  The water gets shallow, so work through the rocks and try and get up as high as you can to attempt a surf at one of the above mentioned holes (you've got a better shot at a surf doing this than catching on the fly).  When that fails, head on back down the river and catch the eddy on river right to do it again!
