A large ammo box containing many tradeable items; a log book located at the base of an uprooted tree hidden by some stones. Path to the left to cache is quite noticeable.
This is a pretty little falls that has been partially modified by a hydroelectric development. The small hydro bldg. diverts most of the Gull Rivers water flow, but at least some of the flow is allowed through a narrow natural channel located on the side of the river opposite to the hydro building. The falls was probably larger at one time, and you can see part of the old falls below the water control dam, next to the hydro building. By following the trail to the lower (main) falls, you will pass a few cascade sections of the river. People can swim at the base of the hydro bldg. This a good little spot to bring a lunch and have a picnic. In 2006 a wind burst went through this area and blew over an est. 30% of the trees and left a scene of amazing devastation. Cross over the dam and you will see the aftermath of this storm.
