Second Drop

This is the last drop and there is much to respect here!  It is recommended after Rookie Drop, paddlers eddy out on the left behind the rocks and scout Second Drop as it tends to catch wood and is always changing. This drop can be portaged on the left.

There are 2 lines on Second Drop.  The left side (Staircase) is run tight to the wall, down the narrow tongue and through the deep hole at the bottom. This route sets you up for the left line through the runout (The Jumble) but make sure you don't get pushed to the Right.

The right side (Boof Line) is about 8 feet off the right wall there is usually a small roostertail to aim for which sets you up to launch off the small flake. You need to have speed and a good boof stroke otherwise the backwash may give you a spin or two and swimming through the outwash (The Jumble) could be your last. At the base of the falls in the center, and left of the Boof Line, is a shallow rock shelf that juts out about 3 feet. After the Boof Line drop paddlers need to recover quickly and ferry left to line up for the left or middle route through The Jumble.
