Description

Another (thankfully briefer) bit of flatwater brings you to the finale, Silver Falls. The upper part of this is a sweet brief dells, as the river narrows significantly and accelerates through a series of holes (generally not sticky). For some, it will seem that there are few, if any, eddies, though I've heard of some boaters at some levels, 'working' the drop, catching a few eddies, before the drop breaks out across shallower bedrock into a short pool at the end of the first pitch. The river then hooks sharply to the left. Most boaters will take out immediately after this tight bend, before coming to the main part of Silver Falls. This drop has been run, but is very nasty looking at most water levels. Most will be content to just look at it before carrying up to the parking lot.
