Popple

Passage is around root-wad end.

If you pass just to the left of the 1st haystack and a boat will deflect towards the rock wall. I have not yet seen anyone hit the wall but it will come by fast and very close. Passing on the right of the 1st haystack increases the odds of tip-over (experienced paddler or not) because of the height of rise to the standing wave and the depth of the hole just to the right of it (see photo). This is drop is quick, exciting, and fun!!!

Washburn Falls can be reached by White Ash Rd. (45.810145, -88.363939). The gravel road (and ATV trail) is 4-miles and the last half is often rough. A parking lot and a 400-foot trail to the falls is on the left. Driving in from the east can be a rougher or impassable drive.
