Description
A steep, technical Class III drop with a pronounced ledge creating powerful hydraulics and requiring precise boat positioning. Paddlers must navigate a tight line between potential undercut rocks on the sides, with a strong center current offering the cleanest route but demanding skilled maneuvering to avoid getting stopped in the hole at the base of the falls. High water levels can significantly increase the rapid's difficulty and hazard potential, making scouting and careful route selection critical.
