Upper Falls

A huge boulder blocks the channel. At typical Fall flows of 1,800 cfs or less it is possible to scout and portage on river left. A tight tricky line can be boated around the right side of the boulder. The left side is a nasty siphon.

at 4300 cfs

If Patterson Bend is running, it will be necessary to scout or portage on river right with much greater difficulty. Both sides of the boulder will have large holes, but boaters can boof off the boulder to skirt the edge of the right side hole.
