Description

Potawatomi Falls (40'): A large dome of conglomerate rock spreads the flow across a wide span of river. With runnable levels for the rest of the river, flow across this rock is exceedingly sparse. Attempts at running this drop are often amusing and scary, as boaters have trouble maintaining their lines as they slide down the rock sideways and backwards.
