Deschenes Rapids - Channel Wave

Channel wave is located between two rock walls on the Quebec side of the Deschenes Rapids.
Parking is the same as for the Lower JJ's Wave. Google Link - Channel Wave
The put in is about 100 yards upstream. Just hike along the bike path and you will see a little trail leading down to the river.
The wave shows up between 58.4 and 58.9 on the Britannia Gauge.

 It is a very fun hole at 58.4 - 58.6.

It is a very fun wave from 58.6 - 58.9.

Above 58.9 its flooded. Go to Champlain.

There are small eddies on both sides of the hole which are easy to catch if you're upright but harder to catch if you flip. They also get harder to catch as the level goes up... but the wave gets better so it's all worthwhile. Below the feature the water runs cleanly into a small pool. Take out river left and carry up the paved walking trail to the top which is about 100 yards.

There is also one rebar on channel left downstream so look out for it and be careful.
