Description
Two class 3 slalom rapids on a gradual left turn signal the approach to Pit River Falls. The downstream view is dominated by a very prominent cliff rising to the skyline.
The river spreads out wide above the falls, while many bushy island hide the approaches. There is easy portage and scouting options on both right and left sides. The right side is more generally used as it is closer and more people boat the right side slide than the left side routes.
