This is a great place to go if you want to do some first time whitewater. The first wave is the biggest, you can do some surfing in it. The second wave is the wave that everyone plays at. There are two other waves at the end of the course that are good to surf. The Dam is a place to learn your spins and surf, it is only about a foot deep. So if you just wanna paddle for a few hours or even go down in an inflatable kayak, I recommend that you go to the East Race. It is only opened at a certain time.
If any one has questions about the eastrace, e-mail eastrace22@yahoo.com. I paddle there and work on the rescue staff.
