North Fork Falls

Mandatory Portage on River Right:

300 yards past the end of Quarter Mile is an impassible Class 6 called North Fork Falls.  The North Fork of the Merced joins the Main Merced just below. At the base of the falls, there are several very large flat and blocky boulders.  Much of the river flows UNDERNEATH these BOULDERS!  If there is even the slightest chance of missing this mandatory portage, don't boat the rapids above it!

At North Fork Falls, there is a pipe skid rig up the right side for rafter use.
