Orange River – Neus Falls

About

An 800m x 800m pocket of chaos on otherwise flat river. Flow influenced by Bloemhof Dam. Flat water above and below gives no warning. A high weir at the top feeds irrigation; immediately below, the river splits into many channels, rapids and waterfalls. Range covers low-volume creeking to big-volume lines, grade 3-5. Central waterfall has been run but is neither safe nor easy. Big surf waves form when water is up. A full day can be spent portaging between islands and running different channels.
