Kane Hill Falls

Right at the put-in, the creek drops about 15 feet.  A sloping slab of concrete leads into an 8 foot vertical falls into a chasm, roars through a sluice and terminates into a huge hole that can be a keeper when the water is high.  Also when the water is high, a big rooster tail shoots up in the air where the water hits from the falls.  It can be very disorienting because the rooster tail completely submerges boaters.  If you get stuck in the hole, it won't keep swimmers or upside down boats.  Even though the chasm is shallow at the base of the falls, no one ever seems to hit very hard.  If this whole ordeal scares you, you can sneak the falls and chasm on the left side by running the rapid as a steep slide or portage by putting in on the right side of the creek in the pool below.  The hole at the bottom isn't as bad on that side either.  All in all, this is an honest, solid class IV rapid and is quite a bit tougher than Ohiopyle Falls.
