River Description

The tidal reversing falls at Deception Pass present up to 4 times per day with waves and eddies depending on the tide flow maxing out at 2,000,000 cfs.  Access and surfing on the small standing waves can be best determined with local tide charts.  Put in and take out at the state park. This could be the largest flow 'river' you have ever paddled so be careful the massive reversing falls flow is substantial.
