3 - Rainbow Falls to Meeskill, Chehalis Washington, US (mobile)
User Comments
was a blast, there were plenty of fun rapids with some slow water in between. It was a smooth run,
and a lot of fun. Rainbow falls was a nice shoot, I paddle a Dagger Centrifuge and it was my first
time ever going through any sort of real whitewater. The falls were easy to approach and upon
getting to them I had a little time to prep myself for the drop. I went right down the middle and
it shot me right through the wave at the bottom. I was able to paddle past the eddy's at the
bottom. My buddy went down and the wave at the bottom made his boat do a 180 but he was able to
paddle into the eddy and regain himself. There is a small gorge about a mile down river from
Rainbow Falls which had some weird whirlpools but we paddled through them just fine. There were a
few more fun holes and rapid sets before we reached the lower falls (just past the military
bridge). The lower falls were more of a shoot than a drop, followed by a nice little set of rapids.
We pulled out to the beach on the right. It was a great day!
