Description

Below the Surf Wave, a large pool leads to the wide but shallow entrance to the Falls. The Falls are a riverwide 6-8 foot tall ledge. The left side is a little taller, but takes more water to pad up the entrance. A sticky hole that recirculates back under the bluff develops at levels above 4.5 feet. The right side has a small channel that reduces scraping at low water and the ledge is not undercut on this side. The ledge can be run just about anywhere except just right of center where a chunk of rock has fallen into the pool below.
