Description

Three 'scissors gates' control flow into the East Race. Generally releases will have just two of them open for boaters to slide down to enter the course.

There is usually a playable wave at the base of each gate which is releasing, though boaters (both those playing and those entering the course from the put-in) need to be aware of 'traffic' to avoid unfortunate impacts.
