Battle Creek Falls
Battle Creek Falls is a perfect place to hone ones cascading or swift water rappelling techiniques. There's two flows, the right side has less water and is lower angle, making it a great beginner rap. The left flow has more water and is overhung, making the water hit full force on your head for most of the rappel. The access is easy on this rappel as well. It's only a 5 minute hike with a four-wheel drive. And the trail runs right above the falls, so after rappelling, you can just run around and do it again!
