Description
Not far downstream from the North Road bridge, you will cross under an old railroad bridge. One hundred yards downstream from this railroad bridge, you will notice a definite horizon line and hear a tremendous roar. This is Buttermilk Falls. Takeout just above or just below this bridge, on river left.

WARNING! Buttermilk Falls is approximately 50 feet high. It is not runnable. The pool at the base of the falls is very shallow and is clogged with boulders, shopping carts and other debris.
