Lower Potter Falls

Waterfall / Large DropClass V-36.08176, -84.57765
Lower Potter Falls

Description

Many people portage this drop while others run it clean. Gauge should be 4 ft or higher to run this.

Caution: The boulders in the center of the river are severely undercut. While there is a clean right line, it is exposed to these boulders, so most, if they run this drop at all, run the left line.

Boof the left side of this 8 ft ledge, landing in a foot or two of water. Then, slide down a short slide for a final 4 ft drop into a pool.

You'll see a big boulder in the center of the river half way through the drop with a big pillow on it. Not only is this undercut, but its actually 2 rocks forming a sieve. There is a third boulder as well, just to the right and it is undercut in a BIG way! Strong/gutsy/confident boaters peel out of the eddy ferrying right into the center and across the face of the pillowed rock into an eddy. This is a pretty cool move.

The right line is clean but high consequence Class V. Boof right and drive right to stay safe if you're hitting this line.
