Description

Unfortunately the narrow creek spreads wide across the bedrock here, which means water will sheet quite shallow heading into the falls. Unless you have unusually high flows (>16.0'), expect to 'grunge out' no matter which line you take.

Far left, there is a sweet 'off-ramp' slide. (This is route is often somewhat obstructed by shrub willow from the left shore.)

Far right, another longer sliding 'off-ramp' would be passable only with very high flows in the creek (above 16.0' on the staff gauge). However, diagonal waves will likely push you toward center before you can get to this ramp!

Down the center, the creek falls off more abruptly. Left-of-center there is high piton potential. The better line (for those choosing not to run the left slide) is well right-of-center, coming off the lip with your right elbow or paddle-blade almost banging the right 'wall' of water (cascading off the right-side 'off ramp').
