Warnings

Levels change with upstream dam releases, sometimes with little warning. Confirm depth from the water, not the rock.

Access

Pull-off parking along Faraday Road; short walk to the jump rock.

Best conditions

Only in stable, low summer flow — this stretch is affected by upstream dam operations, so levels can change with little warning.
