Description
Wildcat Falls is a consequential drop with a technical entrance that requires precise navigation between partially submerged boulders and a sharp hydraulic near the bottom. Paddlers must commit to a narrow line on river right, avoiding a potentially retentive hole that can develop at certain water levels and quickly flip or pin boats in the constricted channel.
