Description
Terrace Falls is a technical Class IV drop featuring a tight, boulder-strewn entrance that funnels into a small ledge waterfall with a complex hydraulic. Paddlers must navigate precise entry moves to avoid undercut rocks and a potentially sticky hole at the base of the falls, requiring confident boat positioning and immediate downstream momentum.
