This is a BIG falls! A park-n-huck that has a certain manmade character to it, this is the sort of drop that only the ZoneDogg would love.
```
```
(Word has it that he and one or two others have run this drop.) It's built from a channel that drains the reservoir upstream, and to add
```
```
to the acid mine drainage endemic to the area, it may have all sorts of debris in the landing zone.
```
```
```
```
```
```
Note that the Cambria-Somerset Authority has stated that the waterfall is part of the emergency spillway for their Hinckston Run Dam
```
```
and is within a restricted area that is off limits to unauthorized individuals.

The creek exits the reservoir and flows over 100 yards of Class 1 before plummeting of the falls. The falls is about 60 feet tall and falls into a deep pool. The clean line is down the left between the left wall and some junky shelves on the right. The falls slopes down about 30 feet before freefalling another 30 feet into the pool. Very few people have run this falls and there have been some major impacts hitting the pool at the bottom. Be careful. Here are two videos of the falls.

The falls are either in Johnstown or East Taylor Township, 4 miles North of Johnstown. The nearest roads are Waterfall Drive and Honan Avenue. The water in the Little Conemaugh is known for being so polluted that it will remove paint from your car. Acid-mine drainage has absolutely ravaged this creek. I have no idea how high the falls actually is, but there is no waterfall that would be worth putting my body through that polluted torture fest. The creek drains the Hinckston Reservoir and may be a few miles long. Because of the reservoir, I'd imagine this baby flashes very quickly and you'd have to be on it while it's still raining.
