TopoZone Map
Ed Evangelidi testifies:
Savage Falls has been run successfully on river left or towards the middle with a series of
basically Class 3 moves. However, each drop in this rapid has numerous pinning or boat crunching
rocks. Scout carefully and be wary of rooster tails indicating hidden rocks at the bottom of any
drop.
