Mendenhall

Scouting the river bottom at low flow for rebar and other hazards. Lake gauge was 1.36ft at time of photos.

Looking underneath the bridge for rebar and any other hazards that might make surfing the wave an unsatisfactory performance.

Very fine new playwave at the top of pinball. Look for the Sugarloaf shaped rock in the middle and eddy out behind it. Work your way above the rock to drop in and hold on!

Take out river left just below last rapid, drag across the vacant lot to Riverside Drive. Walk up and cross through Mendenhall River School out to Back Loop Bridge. Or take out river right and hike back up the Brotherhood Bridge trail to Back Loop, turn right and back to the Bridge.
