Here are 6 photos showing the line at Pinball. Rob Maxwell is in each one. Can you find him all 6 times?? Just a hint, look closely at the bottom hole, verrryyyy closely. You'll see his paddle blade poking out of the hole. Not his best line, not his worst!
Nice line at pinball.

The paddlers gage on the Hwy 35 bridge is located on the downstream river left bridge support. Its an easy walk from the Falls overlook parking lot. As you can see, there is an old painted gage and a newer (more accurate) staff gage. However, both read about the same at normal paddling levels.
In the summer you can walk across the entire falls and not get your feet wet. In the foreground is the double drop that most people run when running the falls.
In the summer you can walk across the entire falls and not get your feet wet. Most people who run the falls run the double drop on river left. However, a few brave souls have run the 35-footer center line. If you look closely at the bottom of the drop, you will see a submerged shelf. I know of one boater who skimmed the shelf when he ran this line.
