Description
River Falls presents a consistent Class II rapid with a series of moderate waves and small ledges that require careful boat positioning. Paddlers should focus on threading between scattered mid-channel rocks and maintaining momentum through the primary drop, with the river's right side offering the cleanest line at most water levels. At higher flows, the rapid can develop more pronounced hydraulics near the center, demanding attentive navigation and precise paddle strokes.
