Description

Heaven's Gate is a 20 foot waterfall. The landing on the Right is a bit shallow. The pool is deep in the center and center Left. Be careful not to let the water stuff you into the crack of rock on river Left. Most of the water goes left and it will flip you over. Boaters have surfaced behind heaven's gate waterfall.

Take note of the hole just before the lip of the falls it needs respect. I ran the falls backward after it grabbed my bow on our high water lap of 2.75. At any flow, towards the lip, the water has a center to left flow pulling unwary boaters towards the rock wall on left. (see photo gallery)
