Hinckston Run

Bobby Miller dropping Hinckston Run Falls

Yep, I ran this back in the spring of 1999 or 2000. It is a sketchy drop, about 70 feet tall. You want a lot of water going over this (Paint Creek should be cranking). I plan to drop it again sometime and will post videos and pics when I do. Not sure what happened to the old picture I used to have of me running it.

I'm pretty certain Zonedoggydog ran this around 2000 and I'm fairly certain it was a 2nd descent

The falls are either in Johnstown or East Taylor Township, 4 miles North of Johnstown. The nearest roads are Waterfall Drive and Honan Avenue. The water in the Little Conemaugh is known for being so polluted that it will remove paint from your car. Acid-mine drainage has absolutely ravaged this creek. I have no idea how high the falls actually is but there is no waterfall that would be worth putting my body through that polluted torture fest. The creek drains the Hinckston Reservoir and may be a few miles long. Because of the reservoir I'd imagine this baby flashes very quickly and you'd have to be on it while its still raining.

I'd love to hear if anyone has actually ever been on this one.
