Trip Report

ReporterKevin Colburn

I took this photo standing next to High Falls, from where the put in trail will descend around the falls, during an access study that required a brief release from Glenville Dam. We'll need your help building the trail. This waterfall will once again be a waterfall when releases start in the spring of 2006. For now it remains dry, as it has been for decades.
The put in trail for the West Fork will terminate at the 3-4 foot drop in the foreground, and paddlers will either put in above or below this drop based on personal preference. High Falls is visible in the background.
