Facebook GroupThis gentle falls is no longer accessible by land due to the presence of private property alonge the river. However, I've been told that it is possible to paddle upstream for 10-12 mins from Purbrook Rd, just to the south.
There are actually two falls that are split in the middle by a small island. The falls on the west is definitely larger and more interesting than the other. Please note the private property, which apparently includes the little island. I believe that there is a portage around the falls on the west side of the river.
A smaller unnamed rapids is located about 100 m downstream of the bridge, just around the bend. A house is situated right in front of it. Paddlers should watch for private property, and, of course, must stay back from the rapids.
