Description
Sweet 15' falls. The horizon line is nearly invisible except for the small tree branch sticking out from the left bank just above the lip. Run on left to middle of the lip. DO NOT run this drop on the right, first off it would really suck. Second, it would cost a lot of money to have Humpty Dumpty put back together again. Best part about this drop is that it is about 1/4 mile from where you parked. Walk down and check it out.
After this, paddle over and make a few laps before the hike back to the car.
