Description
Route 5 Tunnel Waves features a series of dynamic diagonal waves and small holes that develop around a concrete culvert outlet, requiring precise boat positioning and momentum. Paddlers should aim for the center-right line to avoid potential rock pinning on the left side, with increased technical difficulty at medium to low water levels when the waves become more defined and technical.
