Description

Immediately below the dam, the river continues its descent over bedrock for 350-foot of class 2-3 rapids leading to Breakwater Falls. The 45 feet of descent at Breakwater is across a series of three very significant, class 4+ to 5 pitches. The first pitch has two substantial back-to-back drops. The 2nd of these drops has a major keeper of a hole on the far right.
