Beginners can catch small waves here within medium flow ranges, making this spot ideal for tubing and swimming. It’s also a fantastic habitat for fish. Playful currents and a broad eddy create a fun area that shifts to swirling currents as river flow levels change. During calm waters, wading and swimming can be enjoyable too.
Tips from the Paddling Community
The feature begins to take shape around 6k CFS. Due to its location between number 3 and Prairie Rapids (#7) it lacks the energy needed to provide high quality whitewater and is best suited for tubers, canoeists, paddle boarders and less experienced kayakers. However, this does not diminish its value. It provides a jetty for “on-shore” users to have water on the right, on the left and in front of them. It is an excellent place for people to come site by the river and enjoy the rushing whitewater and views of the Cedar River. It also creates an impressive area of calm water for waders and swimmers both during a hot summer day.
