Put in anywhere is Keystone and run to the lake. Although this run must classify as III+, it is boring considering its gradient with little play, but not enough vert for the creek boat! Beautiful scenery and a surf wave in the Hwy 9 tunnel round out this run.

Bridge Surf Wave
|
The bridge under the highway is a steep concrete box. As the river gains momentum in this sluice it forms a nice surf wave at the very end of the tunnel. Moves are rarely possible but its a unique experience!
|
Cannot be scouted. Run the bridge and look ahead as you approach to see if this is your cup of tea.
