Trip Report

This thing really does take a lot of water to run. The ground was already saturated and the rain gage in the area recorded about 2' of rain and the falls were at a good boatable flow. Everything else we drove by on the way was up in the trees.

This is a really fun drop though, the approach looks like it would be shallow and scrapy but it isn't bad at all. Only downside is if you managed to swim or miss the eddies on either side right after the falls it'd likely be a good long while before you or your boat would find a nice eddy.
