This is the putin. It's also where the trail splits.
This 12ft falls needs lots of water and a great boof. The pool is only a few feet deep.
This is the last parking lot at the end of the road in Frozen Head State Park. There's a concrete culvert that the creek flows through that you don't want to take your boat through. Make sure you know where the last eddy is located.
