Millrace Point

9

This location is perfect for longboard surfing, with thrilling whitewater and swirling currents during ideal river flow conditions that challenge all watercraft. Just downstream is a wide, welcoming swimming area when the river has lower flows.

Tips from the Paddling Community


Millrace Point is optimal at 11k CFS and becomes playable at 10k CFS down to 7k CFS then fades. The feature is most useful for long board surfing and creates an aesthetic whitewater experience. The eddy is big and safe with a swirling outer edge current that provides fun and challenging water for all types of watercrafts. This feature dries out at 5k CFS leaving a large friendly swimming area above Melendy Shores.
