Suzie's Falls

When you come to a footbridge spanning the river and a house on river-left, this is the signal to get out river-right to scout Suzie's Falls. (Stay off the footbridge and the private property on river-left.) This is the steepest and most complex/difficult drop on the upper run.

At high flows, clearance under the footbridge will be slim or non-existent! Immediately after the bridge, the river jumps off a short (~3') ledge into a bit of a rolling boil, and is immediately diverted 90-degrees to the left, ~10-15' down a wide dome of bedrock. At the base, it encounters additional humps of bedrock which divert it nearly 90-degrees to the right, dropping across another short ledge.

High flows will create some interesting holes and waves, making this steep pitch a bit intimidating. The crux move here is running the top ledge and hole in control, as a flip there will likely mean lost skin at the very least. The good-sized pool below allows easy recovery of gear for those unsuccessful at negotiating the drop.
