Class III put in

The picture at right shows the final drop of the Upper Magalloway. This drop is complicated by two very wide recirculating holes that must be scouted to find the proper line. Most people running the Magalloway chose to put in just below this falls which is a 100 yard downhill hike from the parking lot at the power station. From this put in the river is continous class III with few eddies in the first third mile. There is nothing overwhelmingly difficult in this section. About a third of a mile down there is a fair surfing wave with good wide eddies on both sides.
