One of my most favorite runs, ever. Always scout for wood beforehand (as it's really easy to do with the road). If you do decide to huck Bald River Falls, be VERY careful on the climb up on the right side and lowering yourself into the pool below. The slipping potential combined with the rock-landing could be disastrous. I and several others have run BRF at levels down to 1.4, in both creekers and playboats, so the thing is almost always good to go. Recently, a vertical pin occured at Jared's Knee by actually going too far to the right, close to the undercut on river right at lower levels. Footage of where this pin is is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6L5W13zYxY , courtesy of Adam Willard.
