Barber Falls

Winterburg's Freeze is a six-foot, river-wide pourover.  While much smaller than Teardrop Falls, it is much more dangerous and should be approached with caution.  This feature can be scouted (and portaged) on river left.  It is a good idea to scout this rapid to ensure that no strainers or debris are blocking the route.  While the center line may look like the most inviting route, avoid running center or river left at low water.  A rock shelf has fallen into the base of the drop and slants upstream, creating a possible subsurface undercut/pin hazard on these lines.  The best line is far river right.  A solid boof on the river-right line should get you past the feature, but even this line will hand out a mean piton to those who fail to keep their nose up.  At higher water, the pourover can be very retentive, so care should be taken when running it (as with any pourover.)

Teardrop Falls is a clean, 18-foot waterfall that drops into a deep pool.  This beautiful waterfall can be run as low as 150 cfs and up to 1500 cfs, but high-water huckers should be aware of the powerful hydraulic at the base of the falls.  Up to 500 cfs, the line is pretty apparent.  At higher flows, boaters have gone far right over the shelf, thus avoiding the strongest part of the veil.  Safety should be set prior to running the drop (this can be done on river left.)  While a deteriorating shelf is a concern, the pool is very deep, and the falls can be styled with big boofs or by going deep.  However, at lower levels, be sure not to land too flat, as an 18-foot drop is high enough to cause a sore back or even a more long-term injury.
