Cowper Dam

Description

aka 'Go Left Falls'. Most of the water flows off a flat rock slanted to the right and into a nasty-looking narrow slot and undercut. Get up plenty of speed and go off the end of the flat rock. Several encounters with the slot have produced bruised bodies and egos.

Fall 2006: The crack on river right has opened up to allow more water into the sluice/undercut. This drop is currently a portage unless the water level is high.

(Name is pronouced Cooper for first descent pioneer Cowper Chadbourn)
