B) Horlick Dam to Quarry Park (0.2 - 0.6 mile)
In this cross-river view, you can see the sloping bedrock which forms the nearly river-wide "Lower Pipeline". In the extreme bottom of photo is the river-left 'staging eddy'. Diagonally from bottom-right to center frame is the shoulder-wave which is used to catch the center wave as flows go into the 1200+ cfs range. At flows under that, slackwater mid-river downstream of the wave allows experienced paddlers to 'park' midstream to stage for paddling up and over the back of the wave to get sweet surfs, spins, and blasts.
