2) The water level must be 1.8' or lower.
3) A minimum of three boaters per party is required.
4) When a permit is required, paddlers must have a permit. All paddlers must register.
5) Putin on river right (Ferncliff).
6) Takeout at the Loop takeout or Bruner Run. (i.e., no taking out at the Lower Yough putin and hiking back up multiple times for a huckfest.)

Once again we will be running Ohiopyle Falls during this one-day event. We need plenty of Help! All adult (18+) FallsRunners will need to give an hour to safety. Those who help for two hours or more will get a cool T-shirt. For additional information, registration and updates see: www.FallsRace.com.
