Description
From Bond Falls Road (and the dam/impoundment) down to the main drop of Bond Falls, there is nearly a quarter-mile of river. In addition to the natural rock formations, there are numerous cement 'structures' in the river above the main falls. In addition to potentially acting as stepping stones, the purpose of these is to ensure that (even at minimal flows) the maximum amount of the width of the main falls has water splashing down it!
While it may look appealing to run some of this early stretch, the main falls is likely boat/body abuse, as it crashes almost uniformly shallow onto rock. We therefore most strongly recommend hiking (and fantasizing about) the upper stretch, but carrying your boat down the boardwalk and putting in below the falls.
