Description
Exit Falls on the Thompson River is a terminal waterfall dropping into Lake Jocassee, marking the end of the whitewater run. While specific details are limited, paddlers should be aware that this is a significant horizon line requiring careful scouting and precise boat positioning to navigate safely. The drop appears to represent a critical transition point where river runners must carefully manage their approach to avoid potential hazards at the waterfall's base.
