About This Waterfall

This is a small but powerful 14 foot waterfall on the Cispus River just downstream of the Adams Fork campground. The falls are not visible from the road and aren't well known outside the kayaking community as a result. Those wishing to paddle the river will likely be more interested with this waterfall than anyone else, there are better waterfalls for waterfall people nearby.This waterfall is not known to have been named, but considering Gail Falls, a mile or so upstream, was named at one point, I'd be surprised if this waterfall didn't recieve similar attention. For the time being, I've named it for its tumultuous character and the fact that its the first waterfall that kayakers encounter along this section of the Cispus.
