Description

This waterfall is just after the takeout at Head of Tide Park and is the point where the Cathance reaches the ocean. At high (and preferably VERY high) tides, this can be paddled carefully, though it is best to thoroughly scout the landing zone. As the tide goes down, it rapidly exposes rocks and mud flats.
