River Description

Park at Savage Mill and walk upstream about 1/4 mi. The Falls is 3 riverwide ledges, class III+ to IV (dependent on level) with a total drop of 10-12', followed by a class III rapid that doglegs to the left. There are a few potential playspots, but it's level-dependent.

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.
