Terminal Surfer ("First Pier")

Continuing downstream you reach the final feature, 1st Pier, AKA Terminal Surfer. At high flows, this is a massive recirc which will stop and surf a 12-man raft! The hole is basically in the center of the river, so you can sneak around it either to river-right or tight river-left. If you decide to play this hole it is recommended that you surf this hole on surfers right (river-left). The center of the hole is flushy (at playable levels) and thus can be the best place to exit. The surfers-left (river-right) side of the hole is generally quite trashy and has stripped many boaters of their pride and scared the crap out of them. That said, some guys do play this side as well.

Just below 1st pier is a large somewhat swampy backwater on river left. Paddle across this to shore where you'll find a trail leading up to the parking lot.
