Description
Split Falls is a technical Class V drop with a tight, technical entry and a powerful hydraulic at the bottom that demands precise boat control and line selection. Paddlers must navigate a narrow chute with limited margin for error, followed by a challenging hole that can quickly recirculate boats and swimmers, making a clean entry and immediate exit critical for safe passage.
