I’m leaving a 3 star because it’s 2023- and we have had record breaking water and there is like no water. Unless there are many years of high water, I don’t think this place is really worth visiting. It sounds like the water is being held higher up, in anticipation of drought later on. We spoke with some locals that said usually the whole basin would be covered in water- turning it into level 5 rapids. You can’t swim in it when it’s like that because you’d die. When we saw it, there was pools of standing nasty yellow water, and a trickling waterfall. I added a photo of what it should look like with high water, vs the same spot when we saw it.

So it’s still a fun check out if you’re in the area- but don’t go out of your way for it unless there have been multiple high water years.
