Facebook GroupThere are several small rapids and a dam along the Pretty Channel. If you guessed that they were all pretty, well, you'd be right! The dam comes first, and is found about 1 km downstream from Big Chute. While not a true waterfall, this allows visitors to get warmed up with some whitewater.
Another 600 m downstream lies the largest of the cascades. The total fall is only a few metres, but the scenery is awesome. The cascade falls in several differrent sections of varying widths.
Another 500 m downstream there is a small rapids, and then another small rapids, again another 500 m downstream. This last rapids occurs just upstream of the outlet of Pretty Channel to Lost Channel, which is essentially an arm of Gloucester Pool.
