Root River
14 miles away
Very fun stretch of river, if there is water.  The root is best paddled the day after a rainfall.  Check the reports, it is not worth your time if the water is below 250cfs.  That is the absolute minimum.  There are 2 fun waves to surf, 3 in very high water.  Bring playboats, this stretch of whitewater is only about 500 yards.  Both waves have pretty good washout, there is a small hole on the lower wave, but not bad....
