Coosa

played here today. level was about 5,800cfs. river left seemed to be washing out, but could it was still pretty fun. river center hole looked gnarly, stayed out of that because it looked gnarlier than noc wave, which i got worked in recently. (i dont surf holes much so this is probably normal, had i been with anyone, i would have sent it). but the hydraulics right below that spot were great to squirt in.

went today at 8500 cfs. Best day yet at Lock and Dam! River-wide great play hole. It felt very safe and comfortable to surf all day.

can you do tricks like loops and mcnastys here?

Recent rains and extremely high levels have gotten rid of much of the debris on river left making the wave on that side easier to get into and a bit safer.This rapid is perfect at about 3,500-6,000, but it is fun to mess around at any level. Consistant water levels are easier to come by in winter because the Allatoona Dam is released more often then than in the summer.

River right is a good hole.wave at almost any water level while river left forms and incredible wave at 3000 - 5000 cfs. Watch out for rebar at low levels. Do not go if it is below 1200 cfs as it is dangerous and not much fun. When it gets above 10,000 cfs, everything gets kinda crazy. The normal big stuff gets washed out and a big hole is formed almost river wide. IT can be a nasty keeper hole in spots. Generally, Lock and dam is decent at any level, and always changes with the water levels. River right is always a good play spot

Coosa River lock and dam is agreat little play spot at medium levels. It has a 50 or 60 foot river run of class III or so rapids and a great play wave. The wave is good at medium levels and turns into a beast at high levels with a hole right behind it. at low levels, it holds very well while at high levels it tends to wash out a little more, but is still good enough to play on. This spot is definatly a good little place to work on some play moves and other fun stuff after school or work. Park and play only with an interesting crowd. pictures soon
