Symonds Yat Rapids
Rapids on the River Wye in England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Symonds Yat Rapids are a grade-2 man-made feature on the River Wye, near Symonds Yat on the Gloucestershire and Herefordshire border.[1] They are most commonly used by canoeists and kayakers for whitewater training and playboating.
Construction
Ownership and access
The British Canoe Union (now called Paddle UK) purchased the banks to the river in 2003 allowing year-round access.[3][4]
Typically the mid-autumn and mid-spring periods provide the best levels. After very heavy rain the features will wash out leaving nothing more than fast-flowing water.[5]
