Chippewa

Some flow/fun values that we paddled in 2003 for the dam/park

200cfs - fun for novices to practice in current/eddy lines. 3 of the 5 weir locations are too shallow, and the play hole/wave-forming rock at the end is out of the water

500cfs - better level with stronger eddy lines at the weir breaks. Hole at the bottom is small but quasi-retentive. 2 of the 5 weir breaks have surfable waves.

My guess is that 400-500cfs would be optimum.

This river park is probably 200 feet long, 20 feet wide, 5 feet deep, with a Lower Yough 'loop' type of arrangement-paved paths for access.
