Description

This is a nasty 35 foot waterfall that used to be the site of a hydroelectic plant for Clayton many years ago.  There are many sieves and dangers in this waterfall.  If you are running it you don't need me telling you how. 

 

You can skip the the first small ledge and some flatwater and make the portage a little easier if you park at the pulloff in the curve of road before heading down the mountain and you can put in below this waterfall.  It is a tough place to portage or putin, but if you can get into the river below the run is very fun below.
