Description

Dillon Falls is a significant drop on the Licking River, featuring a substantial vertical descent that creates complex hydraulics and potential undercut hazards. Paddlers must carefully navigate the narrow constriction and vertical gradient, with precise boat positioning critical to avoiding potential pinning or recirculation zones in the falls' base.
