High Falls river turnaround / portage boundary
High Falls is the route source’s out-and-back objective and the major obstruction on the DEC canoe route. This is a river-side turnaround/portage boundary near the two High Falls lean-tos, not a vehicle take-out; do not run the falls or assume a through-route.
