Name of Waterfall

Borderline Falls

Description

This is the second of three small waterfalls along the West Fork Miller River that can be seen from the West Fork Miller trail. The falls occur where the river is squeezed through tow large chunks of granite and drops down a pair of pothole waterfalls, with a short gradual foamy slide in between. This isn't a terribly attractive or impressive waterfall, I include it in the Database only because it's been recognized and named by the local kayaking community. It was raining when I visited the falls, and scrambling down to the river for a decent picture would have been prohibitively dangerous.
