It's a lovely place when go at summertime with kids who love water and love to swim. Always take food with to avoid looking shops while entertaining kids on a hot day.

Pillows are formed when a large flow of water runs into a large obstruction, causing water to "pile up" or "boil" against the face of the obstruction.

Pillows normally signal that a rock is not undercut. Pillows are also known as "pressure waves". Eddies are formed, like hydraulics, on the downstream face of an obstruction.

Unlike hydraulics, which swirl vertically in the water column, eddies revolve on the horizontal surface of the water.

Typically, they are calm spots where the downward movement of water is partially or fully arrested—a place to rest or to make one's way upstream.

However, in very powerful water, eddies can have powerful, swirling currents that Trap or even can flip boats [ citation needed ] and from which escape can be very difficult.

Undercut rocks have been worn down underneath the surface by the river, or are loose boulders which cantilever out beyond their resting spots on the riverbed.

They can be extremely dangerous features of a rapid because a person can get trapped underneath them under water.

This is especially true of rocks that are undercut on the upstream side. Here, a boater may become pinned against the rock under water.

Many whitewater deaths have occurred in this fashion. Undercuts sometimes have pillows, but other times the water just flows smoothly under them, which can indicate that the rock is undercut.

Undercuts are most common in rivers where the riverbed cuts through sedimentary rocks such as limestone rather than igneous rock such as granite.

In a steep canyon, the side walls of the canyon can also be undercut. A particularly notorious undercut rock is Dimple Rock, in Dimple Rapid on the Lower Youghiogheny River , a very popular rafting and kayaking river in Pennsylvania.

Of about nine people who have died at or near Dimple Rock, including three in , several of the deaths were the result of people becoming entrapped after they were swept under the rock.

Another major whitewater feature is a sieve, which is a narrow, empty space through which water flows between two obstructions, usually rocks.

Similar to strainers, water is forced through the sieve, resulting in higher velocity flow, which forces water up and creates turbulence. People use many types of whitewater craft to make their way down a rapid, preferably with finesse and control.

Here is a short list of them:. Whitewater kayaks differ from sea kayaks and recreational kayaks in that they are better specialized to deal with moving water.

They are often shorter and more maneuverable than sea kayaks and are specially designed to deal with water flowing up onto their decks. Most whitewater kayaks are made of plastics now, although some paddlers especially racers and "squirt boaters" use kayaks made of fiberglass composites.

Whitewater kayaks are fairly stable in turbulent water, once the paddler is skillful with them; if flipped upside-down, the skilled paddler can easily roll them back upright.

This essential skill of whitewater kayaking is called the " Eskimo roll ", or simply "roll". Kayaks are paddled in a low sitting position legs extended forward , with a two-bladed paddle.

See Whitewater kayaking. Rafts are also often used as a whitewater craft; more stable than typical kayaks, they are less maneuverable.

Rafts can carry large loads, so they are often used for expeditions. Typical whitewater rafts are inflatable craft, made from high-strength fabric coated with PVC, urethane, neoprene or Hypalon; see rafting.

While most rafts are large multipassenger craft, the smallest rafts are single-person whitewater craft, see packraft. Rafts sometimes have inflatable floors, with holes around the edges, that allow water that splashes into the boat to easily flow to the side and out the bottom these are typically called "self-bailers" because the occupants do not have to "bail" water out with a bucket.

Others have simple fabric floors, without anyway for water to escape, these are called "bucket boats", both for their tendency to hold water like a bucket, and because the only way to get water out of them is by bailing with a bucket.

Catarafts are constructed from the same materials as rafts. They can either be paddled or rowed with oars. Typical catarafts are constructed from two inflatable pontoons on either side of the craft that are bridged by a frame.
