Description

The last of the Shepard falls is a man made dam feature. At high flows, this is unrunnable. At medium to low flows, it's still a dam hydrolic, shallow and risky. The entrance is middle to left, down a shallow slide. Then a moment of calm to line up river left to boof the dam. The entry to the rapid is harder than the end. (Photo is looking at the 2nd falls)
