The Tees Barrage is a barrage across the River Tees completed in 1996 used to control the flow of the river, preventing flooding and the effects of tidal change. The project incorporates extensive provision for water sports, including the construction of a white water course for kayakers. This shows the course at peace - it looks very different when the water is running high. The pool is the second obstacle pool in the course, nicknamed the "Happy Eater".
