Lower Falls, 1st Ledge, Double Drop

Report

Account On the right side of the ledge there is a slight 'point' that provides you the best opportunity to land out from the hole at the bottom. Upstream of the island is a river wide ledge. It is fairly shallow as the river widens above the island. The deepest route is on river left, though you can probably slide over in a number of places. There is a small playspot on river left below the ledge. Video of Doug Tom running Tom's Challenge Doug running the viewing platform ledge, 2nd drop, river left of the main island. Tom going over last stretch of white water at the lower falls. This is the run out below Viewing Platform Rapids. After the Viewing Platform rapid, there is a short stretch of a few small ledges and some rock garden. At lower levels, it is a bit shallow. River right of the island there are consecutive 6' ledges. On river right of the island, this is the first drop of the Double Drop.
