Description

These falls are now surrounded by private property. In some ways a bit like a bigger, meaner version of the first falls. There are a few good diagonal waves in the lead-in (to trip you up if you aren't careful). The lip of this falls has a big boulder left-of-center. There may be a (theoretical) line to one side or the other near this boulder, but most runs are more center-to-right, to come off a bit of a tongue of water. The landing seldom seems too 'keepy', but again, there is an undercut wall downstream right.
