Menominee

A group of Hoofers from UW-Madison Ran this section on 05/11/2014 at 8500 CFS. Awesome big water run. Big Waves, Big Holes. Everything flushes except for the final hole on the left just before the pool which is a bit sticky but you can work you're way out of it with a little skill and persistence. Easy clean up at the bottom if you go for a swim so not a problem at all. Nice surf waves at the top but try to avoid flipping near the old dam because of rebar. Overall a well worth Big Water run!

Big Holes, Big Waves!

A rough surging foamy 3-6' wave to catch, but
when you
catch it, hang on--its a wild ride.

This is the 1st hole below the old dam, there is a
surging wave just behind this hole.

Pemene Falls is about ten miles downstream of the often paddled Piers Gorge section. A stiff hole develops here and watch out as it will try to throw you to the right into the rock island.
