Description
Just below the covered bridge at the Waterloo Takeout is the remains of another old mill dam plus one more difficult rapid. The falls are abrupt and full of debris from the mill so take care. The cleanest route is along the right. At high water hydraulics form at the base of the dam as well. Stay well away from the channel along the left edge as this flows into the remains of an old hydro building (with no safety grate). The falls can be easily portaged from the island in the middle of the channel.
