Fresno Weir Portage Entrance
Report
| Account | Surfing Alta Wave at low flows can be difficult in a shorter, slower boat because the wave is so small, while the current remains very fast.
Flow was 2,800 release from Pine Flat dam, but perhaps 800 to 1,000 cfs less below this weir.
This building atop a concrete wall marks the right bank of the Fresno Weir, an 8 foot high dam. When you see this view, paddle to the left bank and look for the portage.
Kat stands in the water to push Evan into a hole in the bushes which is the start of the portage path around Fresno Weir. There is room for two boats at most while only one boat at a time can actually beach and get out. That is the lip of the dam only 20 feet or so behind her. |
