Space Bar ("SB")

A final fault in the paver-block center-river creates a surfable wave, perhaps best 900-1200 cfs. At higher and lower flows its barely noticeable, or may surge. (You may catch a brief surf but be dumped off as the wave appears and disappears!)

Note: At least one boater (upon flipping) has had a 'close encounter of the worst kind' with rocks in the outflow from this wave. (Fortunately, he 'tagged' it with his back and shoulder, not his head/helmet.) Many shallow rocks lie in eddies to both sides, as well as downstream (above and through the final rocky pitch). All of which is to say, this is not a good place to play if you are not confident of staying upright, or if your roll is not quick and sure.

If you eddy-out before dropping into the Rubble Field, a river-right eddy allows you to paddle to above Typewriter Wave, and a river-left eddy allows repeat access for Return Key through Space Bar. When all features here are 'in', whitewater play-boaters often forego shuttling, doing just this best park-and-play on the river!
