Wave & Pool

The water flowing over the dam and down the sloping bedrock quickly hits a brief pool. A fairly fine wave can form here at moderate flows, though it tends to surf a bit odd due to how fast the water sheets across the shallow bedrock. (You'll 'feel' the presence of the bottom just inches under your hull!)
Water quality (at any likely boatable flow) tends to be atrocious on this extremely flashy urban stream, and there tends to be a lot of debris in the eddy. Worse (for any potential boaters), this is an extremely popular location for fishermen, many of whom take very vociferous objection to any interference with their chosen pursuits here.
