Rat Wave



For those of us who'd rather watch than participate in the grade V Lundbreck Lemming Leap, there's a much tamer paddle that starts at the campground below the Falls. It's an hour paddle to the take-out at the dirt-road bridge below Highway 3. A nice grade II run with 'the ledge' that's II+ or maybe a III at some flows and lots of mini-ledges. Maybe the most reliable wave is 'Rat Wave', or if you blow off the back, 'Rat's Wave'.

We've surfed it at flows above 6 cms and here it is at 22 cms, when it's flatter and flushing out.

Dave and I were going to hit this run on the way back from our long weekend in Montana, but we spent about an hour or more in a super big car line up at the Rooseville border, so we missed out! but it looks like it was a fun little paddle for ya the pics are nice.

Stew, does that mean you're no lemming? BTW, I can't seem to find that PDF of the lower St. Mary's you sent some time ago for me to post. Do you still have it to resend?
