Description

Kenton Drop is a man-made rock-arch rapid creating a consistent surfing wave at the Springfield Play Park, offering kayakers a Class II+ playspot with predictable features. The wave provides good green water for practicing surf techniques, with a relatively clean line that allows intermediate paddlers to work on boat control and wave riding skills. Paddlers should be aware of potential recirculation at lower water levels and maintain situational awareness near the rock structures.
