Description

The first of two dams downstream of Sheb.Falls, this dam has a very short drop, but a nasty reversal at most flows, making it a highly recommended ("mandatory") portage. With proper scouting and safety precautions (partner on shore with a throw rope at the ready), it may be runnable at some flows. Again, it is such a short drop, it won't really be any significant thrill when you can run it, and the potential dangers of being recirculated far exceed the potential thrill of running the drop.
