Description
Pixie Falls is a technical Class III+ drop featuring a narrow, boulder-choked entrance that funnels into a steep 8-foot waterfall with a complicated landing zone. Paddlers must nail a precise left-center line to avoid potential hydraulic recirculation zones on both sides of the falls, with minimal margin for error and the need for immediate precise maneuvering after the drop.
