Sarah's Wave

You can spend an entire afternoon in this nice playhole right at the put-in. The wave is at its prime at water levels of 3.2 to 3.8 feet. The wave is 4-6 feet wide and stands 1-2 feet along its length. Entry is easiest from river left (or on the right hand bank when approaching it from below). Move upstream in the eddy near the small island and then ferry straight into the hole. From there you can play the main wave or peel out or draw yourself into smaller waves lateral to the main wave. Recovery is easy on either shore below this short rapid and the nearby picnic area offers one a nice place to sit and rest. Just upstream there is an excellent swimming hole with large boulders to lie upon and sun bath.
