Description
Lower Falls is a short, technical drop with a 6-foot vertical descent requiring precise boat placement and momentum. Paddlers must navigate a narrow channel with potential undercut rocks on both sides, demanding careful line selection and quick maneuvering to avoid potential pinning or hydraulic hazards. Scout carefully and be prepared for a potentially consequential run with limited margin for error.
