Upper Falls

Upper Falls is located in a tourist area called Rocky Gorge. From the parking lot at the put in class II-III water leads up to a 15' falls into a small box canyon. If you are running the upper section along with this section make sure you scout this area carefully. Pull out well upstream once the river starts dropping over small ledges with sticky holes. Carry around below the tourist foot bridge for an easy put in on river right or a 10' seal launch from either side of the box canyon. Should you choose to run the falls the usual line is from river right over a 45 degree slide to the 10' verticle drop below. Keep the nose of your boat up on the slide to keep from pitoning off protruding ledges at low water levels.
