Description: This park consists of multiply holes and
waves that change with water flows. The canoists above are at the
top of the run. Just below this wave is the Smelter Wave/hole which
was changed and seems to be not as good as it used to be. The third
wave/hole is Corner Pocket. Corner Pocket gets really good at 2,200cfs
and up. The flow in these pictures is around 1,800cfs. depending
on water levels. The Animas River has a good size drainage and can
flow as high as 7,000 cfs. For water levels, you can click
here.
The Santa Rita hole pictured above becomes a very large wave/hole
at about 2,500 cfs and up. This water feature is about 100 yards
below the Santa Rita Park. This wave/hole is natural and is the
original spot for the Durango hole riding contests.
The Big Kahuna wave is down by the take-out behind Four Corners
River Sports. The folks at Four Corners River Sports are always
happy to help direct you if you need any beta on this section.
