Description

This 15ft waterfall is one of the easiest to run in the Southeast. Though it can be run most anywhere, the most common line is in the center over a small curler (upstream of the lip) which lines you up perfectly for a rock finger. The extreme right side of the landing zone is shallow. Caution: The center line is easy to boof so watch your landing. This is also the takeout for the upper section.

If proceeding downstream (to run Lower Potter's Falls and/or the entire lower section, please read information and cautions about Lower Potter's Falls in the full description for that section.
