Description

A classic waterfall with two possible routes. The standard line is to enter just right of center and drop down into the sluice paddling to the right to boof off the right edge of the bottom drop. If you miss the boof expect to go deep. There is also a left hand line known as "Blind Date". The left hand line is more sketchy, as you must punch a hole and drive hard to the left to avoid dropping into the vortex where the two drops converge. Boats running Blind Date have gotten stuck in the cave under the waterfall; one boater had his eardrum burst when he was driven to the bottom of the river. The portage is on the old railroad bed on river right. There is a seal launch off the sloping rock, which is also a good place to set throw ropes and scout.
