This very tiny rapids is barely worth including here. The total fall is less than half a metre, and most people would be disappointed to find it if they were expecting a falls. But it's got bedrock, and is fairly easily accessed.
William's photo shows that even the littlest falls can be an attractive spot to sit and relax. A few more rapids are found just downstream, but I haven't seen them. The North River actually hosts several small to medium-small waterfalls.
The closest is about 3-4 km downstream. The river is quite sinuous, and this could be a long back-and-forth paddle from the footbridge. The photos that I have seen show that it is bigger than the one featured here, but perhaps only 1-2 m high.
