Description

Another sweet sliding falls (not really quite 12'). Access is great from Twelve-foot Falls County Park. The trail to get above the falls is pretty decent, though not particularly wide or convenient. (Experienced boaters, of course, will be pretty used to this sort of scramble and bushwack to scout/portage/carry up or down around rapids and falls.) When running falls at higher flows, be very cautious of the big hole at the base! Flow heads out to the left (south) of the pool (with often slightly congested split channel). After 185 yards, it bends sharply left, proceeds about 65 yards more, then encounters another dike of rock to drop across (8' Falls).
