Description

Most continuous rapid that ends in quick moving water running towards the entry to the Big 20 ft Nay Aug Falls. Get out EARLY on River Left to scout the Big Drop. A serious drop without the ability for setting safety. 

 

Park and Huckers might make good use of Nay Aug Park. Here is a link (map) describing the location of a bridge that might be useful getting down to the river for a putin. I could see short laps of boulder dash through a hike out at the Portage Dam below Nay Aug Falls.  www.scrantonpa.gov/nayaug_map.html
