Middle Lewis Falls is 33 foot cataract is the widest of the
multitude of waterfalls along the Lewis River. The falls spread out over a
broad bedrock sheet then crash sideways into a trough, half of the falls
plunging straight down in a horseshoe and half sliding down the bedrock. From
one end to the other the falls are almost 300 feet wide.
