This stretch is dependent on Lake Allatoona Levels ( http://allatoona.uslakes.info/Level.asp)   When the lake is over a certain level, all of the rapids are covered up and flat.  When the lake is low, the rapids described below come into play.   The playholes at the dam are in play when the lake is at 838ft and below but are covered when the lake is at 840ft and above.  If you know the exact level that covers the broken dam rapid, please comment below.

There are two play features here:

The Upper Dam Hole and the Lower Dam Hole.  Both are located at the Broken dam at Old Rope Mill Park in Woodstock [ www.woodstockga.gov] about 100 yards from the parking lot.

The Upper Dam Hole is on river left at levels 1000cfs and above and is great for a small playboat (1300cfs - 2000cfs is best).  This hole has no eddy access, you have to eddy out below and hike your boat back up.

The Lower Dam Hole is on river right and is fed by a giant eddy created by the broken dam.  It is shallow but playable from 1000cfs to 1300cfs and becomes a wave train 1400cfs+.  At levels around 1700cfs, this wave is more of a longboat wave as short boats don't have the speed to surf.

Here is a video by Rick Thompson of this stretch at around 1700 - 1800cfs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isMpB3r3DsY

'The wave is created by a manmade structure that looks like a little slide at low water.. at higher water the wave looks like its formed at the bottom of the slide, not sure how deep it is......I'm not much of a playboater.. but it looks like you could do flatspins, blunts, cartwheels.. if you are really good some loops.'   T_Dockins

'A friend and I went out there on Christmas (2009) after Santa brought us all that rain for being good boys this year. We were there for about 2.5 hours with the f
