Description

A spectacular 2 tier 40 foot waterfall. The 1st tier is approximately 25 ft into a mid tier pool. It has been run on the right, center and creek left.

 

In all our runs we ran hard to creek left. In the picture you can see an auto-boof feature just above my stern. The auto-boof seems to be stronger if you lean back or dribble over the edge without any attempt of speed. It has hurt at least one boater having auto-boofed them into more greenish water. I always feel the auto-boof factor to some degree but it is easy to compensate with good form.

 

Paddle strong to the hard left line, lean forward, lock the hips and plug the line deep into the pool. I prefer this line as it sets you up in the eddie of the mid-tier pool. Chill out and watch your buddies fly in to join you.

 

Portage Raging Angels:

Reconsider if it's clean, the drop is probably less dangerous than the walk especially if there is any snow or ice present. Portages can be made on river right on a very steep trail. I would assume you would lower the boat by a rope down the slope.
