| Account | This is the rapid downstream of Fall in the Wall Falls and between the alternative put-in that is normally portaged. If you're not running the main falls most folks put in above this ledge. Use caution and make sure you have a good strong move to the left as you make your boof. There is a bad pin spot below the surface and along the wall on river right. There have been a few close calls here. After a couple of entry ledges the river disappears over a set of three horizon lines that come in quick succession. Looking back up from the bottom one in the set seen here the river appears to emerge from the tops of the trees. After a short recovery pool the river plunges over a fourth ledge with a nice launch ramp for your boof over on river left. You have a couple slots to choose from either around the right or left side of the big midstream rock. After a swift entry slide the river plunges over a second slide and along what can be a rather sticky hole along river left. Make a good strong move to sneak it on the right. Near the end of the run the river makes a hard turn along river left with ledge drop. The Green Room is a great drop near the end of the run. Hit the sweet spot and your entire creek boat will disappear below the surface entering the "Green Room" before exploding back up a short distance downstream. The final big slide. Scout your take-out eddy carefully and be sure to set safety. At the downstream edge of the pool below this drop the river disappears over a set of cascades that culminates in unrunnable Franklin Falls. |
