Description

The steep section begins with a slide into a 40-foot waterfall. Most of the water lands on rocks except on the right where it falls into a shallow pool. Portage on the right. This falls has been run only once and many excellent creek boaters have passed on it. Rumor has it that the ZoneDogg has had his eye on this falls for some time now. I hear that he plans to run it at the next good rainfall.

(Lat/longitude coords are a rough guess.)
