Description

Upper Falls on the Brule River drops nearly 25 feet, creating a significant vertical challenge for paddlers. The waterfall's substantial height and potential for hydraulic recirculation demand precise boat control and a carefully planned line. Paddlers should scout thoroughly and be prepared for a technical descent with minimal margin for error.
