Facebook GroupI haven't visited this site. It is only visitable by canoe. The falls are found along the short 150m-long channel that leads from Clydesgale Lake to Pen Lake. The total elevation drop towards Pen Lake is about 5 m. Gary's photo shows that the river constricts into a narrow notch, with high rock walls and boulders making for tight quarters.
A 275 m portage between the lakes is nearby. If you are a member of the Facebook group, ask Gary Smith about this one, and tell him that Captain Kirk sent you!
This would be an 11 km paddle from the Rock Lake campground (one way). That's a long return trip for an experienced paddler, and thus this is probably best for an overnight camping trip. NOTE: Driving directions are to the Rock Lake Campground, for convenience only.
