Description
Manard Falls features a moderate drop with a series of small ledges creating choppy Class I+ hydraulics and potential pin hazards on the river's right side. Paddlers should navigate the center line, maintaining momentum through the broken water and watching for submerged rocks that can create unexpected lateral waves during medium to high water levels.
