Dam 3 to SRO is a good run.. It has a few 2-3 ft drops and a little 's' turn.. It's cold and refreshing.. Hit it up. :kayak:

The biggest slide is "high falls", just above Hardy. But you pay a price - the pools are much longer down there.

I recommend the same section others have pointed you to; if you want to see High Falls, then put in under the Hwy 62 bridge at Hardy, river right side, and paddle/drag upstream. You can portage upstream and then run the falls as many times as you wish...

We may try that next time! Thanks Cowper!
