Old browser warning

Site look funky? Your browser is either Internet Explorer (hit refresh (F5) several times due to a bug in Microsoft's code that we can't work around) or is 10 years old and standards-based layouts and styling confuse it. Consider updating. One excellent option is Mozilla Firefox, versions of which are available for Linux, Mac and Windows. Safari 1.0+ and IE 6.0+ are also supported.

Derek Williams says:
The first drop is commonly run about ten feet off the right bank. The slide is fairly straight-forward -- just stay off the right wall/undercut. After that, it is class 2 all the way to the upper Locust.
Here is a shot of the falls at a lower than optimal level:

There are rocks on both sides of the landing; I have seen broken boats and teeth there. Also, there is some barbed wire strung across the creek below. Don't let it sneak up on you, as there are few eddies between the slide and the L.F.
