Trip Report
| Reporter | Jim McNeill |
I went to Weldon Falls park two weeks ago. The level should have been prime for the Weldon Wave, 2800 cfs. A couple other boaters were there looking for some surf. Unfortunately, the wave did not produce. High water from Fall of 2015 through the 2016 summer rains may have shifted the formation. what surf was left, wasn't on par with my experience of the past. There are still a couple surf holes in the upper part of the rapid but they are shallow and sticky. surfing Dumpster Hole is still a Paddle at Your Own Risk adventure.
