Trip Report

ReporterRobert Maxwell

All the land around Grindle Falls is privately owned. The land owners have never been thrilled with the paddling community, so you'll need to scout from the river bed to avoid a nasty trespassing charge.

There are several lines to choose from on Copper Mine Rapid. Here's Milt Aitken running the far right side.
