This is the hole behind the Chamber of Commerce
This is the wave about 50 feet downstream from the hole
Looking downstream from the railroad bridge on Glebrook Ave.
This is one of several waves in Central Park in Garland. Some lucky homeowner has a nice porch overlooking this wave.

This is the put-in at the N.W. corner of Beltline and Jupiter.
This dam can be portaged on either side, but its golf course property so be quick and quiet.
This one comes after the golf course and is right before buckingham rd. Portage river right.
