Description
After some more boogie, the creek will neck down and quickly drop out of sight. Several eddies exist on the right, as well as an old wooden sign to warn you of imminent danger. Take one of the right eddies to scout. Portaging would be very difficult but is apparently possible, and setting safety would require a big hike.
The line is center-right the whole way down. A shelf extends through the entire left side at the bottom of the falls, and is quite painful to hit. The right side has a series of mogul-type bumps which break up the drop into less abusive pieces. Make sure to stay upright! Fortunately there's a big pool at the bottom.
