Alta Weir Wave - Low Water
Report
| Account | The Kings river is a lovely class 2 float trip below Pine Flat Dam to Piedra or on to Centerville. Gould Weir (low head dam) helps divert water from the Kings River into the Enterprise Canal. It is on the right most channel a mile or two below Avocado Lake. Portage on river left, starting a ways upstream of the dam. There is no take-out close to the dam. A road leads around the dam to an easy put-in below. This is the second group of islands. The river right channel is the most open. The river left channel is very pretty but has tricky manuevering at the end. At low water the wave below Alta Weir becomes smaller, smoother. It just becomes a green hump at some point. The streambed is shallow here, so there is no hole or recirculation below this weir. |
