Description

Numerous small rapids lead to Horseshoe Falls, where the river is diverted around an island.

The left channel is narrower, and often completely closed-off by wood.

The right (much larger) channel drops over a short (1-1.5') ledge, and stong current and 'funny water' immediately follow.

Beginners will likely want to carry up (river-right) for multiple attempts and lines down this drop.
