if you run Ed banks to the falls and have no issues, you should do ok in the falls depending on level!!! get in with a good group and have fun. at levels below 4.5 the falls are really class III/III+ drops with the machine as a IV. above that and they start to run together.

would love to go up but $$$ are tight at this time.

if i can off i might go that way. i need to do the fr. 30 to ed banks section. its a class 2+ 7.5 mile section. i usally camp at sand bar bridge.

Great tips..

I'll be heading out in the AM. Hoping to hook up w a group to see the lines at the falls.

more than likely running 246 to sand bar...

What is the section from FS 31 to ed banks like?

water is going up!

Usually putting higher up on a river/creek means that it gets meaner.

In the case of the Tot, it gets a bit easier. Still need boat control and basic skills. It's fun run and plenty scenic. If the level is high enough, one can go up past the first low water bridge and grab some more. As always, be careful.

more than likely ill be heading up saturday but mainly looking for ed banks down to falls run and a few laps of the falls was great level yesterday 12/15 little over 5 feet should still be around 4 by saturday depending on if there is more rain lets hope so i should be making it to the falls around 10am or so maybe camping saturday night and do a early sunday run we will see how the water holds

I'm in. Rusty
