Swinging Bridge Dam

Dam underneath a swinging foot bridge. Marks the end of the slalom course. There are a couple different lines to take.

The standard line is to run the cut out slot on the river left side of the dam. It is a sloping tung of water that ends in a hole that has a tendency to flip boaters and even backender creek boats. One can also boof off the dam into the pool. This is typically done a little to the right of some vegetation growing on the dam to the right of the slot.

The more challenging and interesting lines are on river right. One is to hug close to the river right shore, 3-6 feet off the bank. You drive with right angle, punching through  the hole to get up on the flow. Then either catch the right hand eddy, or keep going following the flow back to the pool below the dam. Another line here is to boof off of the right hand side of the dam into the pool. There is a slight mound that indicates where you should be. Care must be taken, if you go too far right or are sideways you will get worked in the pour over that forms on the dam.
