A large amount of water was falling over the spillway with a deafening roar when up close to the dam. Spicy action with a half-dozen fluid drops with Class 3+ character. Boat scouting is accessible for every drop and pools allow for easy self-rescue when needed. It is a good idea to mark the take-out with a flag if you are unfamiliar with this section.
