Not great size untill Balcony falls, Run the falls from just river right of center to river left to avoid a sometimes hidden rock. Great place to surf. River left is a large boulder. if you padle up the eddy of this rock and then murge into the falls you can catch a great wave. Very short rapid so it is perfect for begginners looking to advance thie abilities. Very hard on a canoe....
