Description
Metaline Falls is a technical Class IV waterfall drop with a complex entry and multiple challenging lines. Paddlers must carefully navigate a narrow, boulder-strewn entrance with potential for powerful hydraulics and must precisely maneuver to avoid dangerous rock features and potential pin spots. Strong current, significant vertical drop, and limited margin for error demand advanced boat control and precise route selection.
