Rapid Descriptions

Emory Gap Branch & Panther Branch Confluence (Class II)
This is the putin. It's also where the trail splits.

Debord Falls (Class IV, Mile 0.3)

Debord Falls

Debord Falls

This 12ft falls needs lots of water and a great boof. The pool is only a few feet deep.

Parking Lot (Class II, Mile 0.9)
This is the last parking lot at the end of the road in Frozen Head State Park. There's a concrete culvert that the creek flows through that you don't want to take your boat through. Make sure you know where the last eddy is located.
