Cummins falls is tuff to climb down without a boat, I can't imagine what it would be like with a kayak. I live close by and am going to try and check it out and see if there is a place to put in below the falls without hiking your boat down with ya. Edit

In the past many people have been injured/or killed transcending these falls.<br /> Do not be fooled by their appearance. Edit

There IS a portage trail. Ferry over to river right well above the falls. Get out, locate the trail and start walking down until you get pretty close to the lip of the falls. Head up the hill, turn left and continue on. You will eventually come to a tree with ropes hanging down the bluff. Lower your boats and climb down. You can scramble up the bank on river right to the pool below the falls to catch one more rapid. Fun run...once. You'll have a much better time on Spring Creek if Blackburn is running.

Watch out for 85 ft. unrunnable Cummings Falls within 1st half-mile of the gorge. I have heard you must use ropes to repel down dry face of the falls and I have also heard of a portage/walking trail around. I have never run it, but know this falls will have to be dealt with.
