Smalls Falls is Maine's best park and huck. The headwaters of the Sandy River fall 65 feet in a tenth of a mile. The 6 waterfalls vary in size from 5 to 20 feet.
This is the hardest drop at Smalls. Paddlers often put in below this drop, especially when the water is low. Higher water opens up a great boof on the right.
Fun slide across the river. Higher water opens up a boof off the center.
Very fun drop usually floated a couple feet off the right ledge. Landing is much softer than it appears.
The main drop at Smalls. 20 feet of drop into a deep pool. Usual line is with the main flow, although other lines exist at different flows.
15 foot vertical falls usually boofed as far left as the flow allows. The right is shallow and should be avoided.
5 foot ledge into take out pool. Hike up for another run.

Josh Geib and Jeremy Cass ponder on what to new next after 3 hours of Z-Drags and breaking ropes trying to dislodge this tree from the other side of the drop...
