These rapids are located immediately below the Hatfield Dam, on the south end of Lake Arbutus...near the town of Black River Falls, Wisconsin. (River level was about 300 cfs, I think). These are just a few shots of Scott running the drops.

@promaterial Thanks...not sure where the ATV trails run, but they must pass close by, as a road runs very close, and parallels the S.E. side of the river, between the dam and Hwy K. These rapids are located about 1/4 to 1/2 mile upstream from the Hwy K bridge, and immediately below the Hatfield dam. They only run during spring snowmelt, periods of heavy rain, or scheduled dam releases. Friends Of The Black River is a local paddle club that can help you get the schedule for the dam releases.
