Morgan Waterfall
Smallish, but fun, waterfall directly around the corner from the take out for Round Valley, on the Weber River. Either park and huck or add this to the boring end of the Round Valley run. Height dependent on flows, but appears to average 6-10' drop. Left side is clean pour into hydraulic that is moderately retentive at lower flows and looks and feels nasty at higher flows. There is a sub-ledge that is boofable located just right of center. Look for large obvious notch in horizone line and shoot the middle of it. It will sometimes kick left, into the maw, so be careful. Also known as the Fairgronds Waterfall
Suggested river levels for paddling this section of the Weber River are between a bare minimum of 350cfs and a high of 1,100cfs.
