LOCATION NOTES:

General Information:
Whitewater:

Difficulty & Must Haves:
Class III-IV. Do not paddle this river without appropriate training, rescue gear and leadership. Near the beginning of the rapids there is a sieve near the center so use great caution when scouting. River is remote so walking out would be difficult. Dress for the swim!

Nice to Have & Human Interest:
About 6 miles of nice ledges and rapids, more open than the Little Sandy but very scenic. You’ll need to get out and scout at least Falkenstein Falls, where there’s a river wide horizon line a few miles in.

Additional Notes & Shuttle Info:
High clearance vehicle for the shuttle is recommended. Parking at the take out is tight. 39°37’18.0″N 79°42’13.4″W
