Boaters should avoid running Great Falls when visitation in the park is high. Morning runs are best. If you must go later in the day, go in a group no larger than four (4) and finish quickly. Never go in a large group, spend excessive time scouting, or carry back up for repeat runs when the park is crowded. Know the hazards of this class 5+ rapid before deciding to run it. Be aware that some of the dangers are not evident, even after careful scouting. And, please do your part to protect access to this tremendous resource.
