Description
The first of the Five Falls. The standard route is start in the eddy at the top on river left, then work down middle to river right through bumpy shoals to an eddy on river right above a 10 foot wide slot. From there peel out and run the slot angled to the right to stay out of minor undercut, and punch the hole at the bottom. Corkscrew is about 25 yards below.
This is one of about 4 different ways to run this rapid. There are also a left line and two middle lines.
