The Weir

Report

Account This is the gravel fan below the first island. There is always a tree ready to fall in the water here. As soon as one goes, another takes its place. Entering the clay wall area. Below this is a small rapid where many people practice surfing. A storm in 2005 moved the most significant rock, making the biggest hole not as fun as before. This is a small chute approaching the canyon. There is a pair of rocks in the center at the bottom. At flows above 1000cfs, this creates an enticing hole with a rock behind it. This is the rapid that bends South after exiting the canyon. The most common route is right of the island, near the wall. This is the weir from the right bank. The biggest danger in the weir is logs that collect after large storms.
