Description
Chaw Falls is a technical Class V waterfall drop with a narrow, boulder-strewn entry and a vertical 15-foot plunge that demands precise boat positioning and expert-level line selection. Paddlers must navigate a complex approach through tight, offset rocks before committing to the main pour-over, with significant hydraulic recirculation at the base creating high consequence for any missed entry or technique error.
