Facebook GroupThis is a deep, rugged, slot-like gorge that is visible from the Hwy 17 bridge. Flow is very often non-existant while water is redirected to the hydroelectric generating station. The Andrews Generating Station is rated at 58 MW.
Unfortunately, the only place to observe the gorge is from the highway bridge. High traffic speeds and the narrow nature of the bridge make it unsafe to stop here. But you can still get a good glimpse as you drive by. Am I the only person that drives over the same bridge several times?
I looked around the site for another place to view the falls/gorge, but couldn't find anything. If you are aware of a different vantage point that people are allowed to access, please let me know.
