(Rick Dukes surfs the number one drop in the Pueblo Whitewater Park or the P-Wave as it is coming to to be known.)The water is flowing through the park. Sure it is not even 300cfs yet (It was flowing at about 293cfs Monday), but that doesn't mean that there isn't fun to be had. Just ask Rick Dukes who make the trip down from Colorado Springs to get into the 38-degree water.
(Water that flows down the first drop from what was once a low-head dam forms the P-Wave a local favorite for surfing.)Pogies, helmet liners and neoprene were the order of the day. There isn't big water yet, but as I tend to start out slow the water was a good beginning for this young paddling season.
The park looks to be in pretty good shape and there are plans for continued improvements as the spring and summer seasons begin. There are plans to improve the trail that runs the length of the park on river right. As part of the project replacing the W. 4th Street bridge there will be a cement path laid that will be substantially thick allowing heavy trucks to use it during the bridge construction.
More to come...soon.
