Sauk Creek

Erik Larsen Cruizing over the main ledge.
This hole (immediately upstream of the footbridge in the park) can be surprisingly retentive and can offer good side surfs. Use caution if you flip, however, as failure to roll here can mean a long, mean swim down shallow sloping ledges downstream with very powerful current.
The main drop on this run lies in a park (conservation area), and convenient paths allow easy multiple runs.
Sweet waves and rapids lead into and follow the main drop for quite awhile.
Don't even consider swimming or standing anywhere on this river when it is at runnable levels. Large, sharp, broken concrete slabs under the water, boulders, fast current, old parking meter posts, tons of strainers, and other debris are in this river. Therefore, beginners should avoid this river unless accompanied by an experienced paddler.
