River Description
A new park, built with local tax dollars in 1999. It isn't the fanciest or the best but it is a
great start. Surfing on the upper of two drops is good at 350cfs or above. Deep holes under both
drops so you can drop the nose or tail without fear of hitting the bottom. Finding the park is a
little tricky... I look for the McDonalds on E. Main when heading East and take a right on Tucker
St. Follow Tucker all the way to the end (cross San Juan Blvd.) and park in the thoughtfully
provided parking area. Change in the little changing booth and head down the trail and to the left
for a couple hundred yards to find the park and river. Great start and good to see local dollars
going to a new WW facility!
