River DescriptionA 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!StreamTeam Status: verified

The bottom wave around 1200 is good for about anything, but it is a one shot deal because the eddy is almost impossible to catch and ferry across. At 800-900 cfs, the bottom wave is about perfect. Anything below 800 cfs, go to the top wave, which is good for spins and old school moves. The River Reach foundation is supposively adding 200-300 more rocks below this stretch with the help of a few engineers to make the course a lot longer and better. Please help support the River Reach foundation, because they are the ones who do the upkeep on this river.<br />
