Description
After Mill dam the river widens and can be a little scratchy at low levels. Most of the water in the river then channels to the left and is only about 25' wide at this point. Rapids pick up to the South Mountain bridge crossing. After the bridge the river drops over a constricted boulder pile that requires precise manuevering. At the base of the drop a nice series of surfing waves form with a convinient eddy on river left at medium levels.
