Chaw Falls

As of 2026 the top drop has cleaned up and there is a good line. Make sure to have good safety set. I catch a must make eddy, then seal launch into the middle of the main drop. Bottom one is almost always clean, i boof into a must make eddie on river right, then do the shallow ferry over to the trail to get out. Would love to see somebody do it all in a sequence!

I grew up very close to this waterfall and my parents would take us to see the powerful drops after large rains. I first kayaked it in 2009, naming it CHAW FALLS and have been lucky enough to catch it running a handful of times since (including a high water run in 2013). I was never able to link the top ledge to the main big drop. If I ran the first ledge, I would take out and slide back in right above the big drop to run the slide/boof on river left. The last ledge is a treat! Very erosive area and when there is a lot of water the drops can erode and change right before your eyes!! Has anyone linked it all together? Its named Chaw Falls!
