Description

Flat Shoal plunges over four distinct rapids at "The Falls". All of the drops have relatively clean lines, but be wary of trees in the slides. At high water this half mile of river becomes one huge rapid. The class IV rating for the run really reflects the fact that the four rapids or drops of the falls are very close together. There is an access point a the top of first drop. A trail runs down the river left bank to the base of the third drop.
