This has a great reputation as a high-water play spot. But at lower levels (750-2000+ cfs) the big features have disappeared and the deep, obstacle-free current line just above the bridge becomes a near-perfect spot for practicing ferrying, eddy peels, beginning surfing, and rolling in current and waves.

Steep Falls is sick at high water 10,000+ we paddled the wave at 13100cfs yesterday and it was great....kinda hard to set up sometimes but a crazy shoulder thats really steep the entry onto the wave is kinda like dropping into a half pipe. Just make shure u watch out for the trees in the eddy they can be a real pain. Also try to say away from the left side of the wave its really flushy..there is a big wave hole thing in the middle of the river that can be fun....
