The Mettawee River offers some significant rapids and falls for high adventure seekers. There is a big drop just under the bridge at put-in, and a little further downstream is a small waterfall that has a giant rock in the middle. To the river left of the rock is a large strainer or sieve that has claimed a life. Be sure to avoid that and scout it out before hand if necessary. At the end of this course is a large waterfall - about 10 feet in height. It's advised to scout it out before hand to decide the best route over (the waterfall is said to have a cave behind it). Note that there isn't really any marked spot to launch or park at the put-in location.
