Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportVisited this park a few times are differnt levels, 1000cfs, 2300cfs, and 3200cfs.
At 1000 cfs, the first feature was a green wave that was fun to surf and spin in a playboat. There were also people ripping up the wave on surfboards.
2300cfs, the second and third features were the most fun. Both were deep enough for playboating and retentive enough to stay in the feature too.
3200cfs, the second feature was the most fun. It was a fluffy, floamy rodeo hole and was deep enough for loops.
