Description

Shumate Falls should be taken seriously, although it is quite wide and generally class II on the left.  The right side should be avoided due to the U-shaped ledge.  At lower levels (around 3 feet) there can still be a decent drop on the left side.  At higher levels you should be able to run several places on the middle/left.
