Although I don't frequent Blue Hill Falls, I have paddled it, and from a white water paddeling perspective, been disappointed by this spot. Rumor has it that the rapid is not what it used to be. Although there is still a strong current, the famed wave on the incoming tide no longer fully forms. I suppose that the best chance for a formed wave is during a "moon" tide cycle. A possible explanation for this (again rumor only) is that a few years ago, construction debris from the stone bridge over head may have fallen into the water near the wave changing the morphology of the current.

This is a good example of a reversing fall. I was boiled, and almost died here, on a windy day.
