Because of this bedrock bottom, the upper 25 miles of the Scenic River tends to have more riffles and rapids - making for an enjoyable and at times exciting canoe experience. Valley side slopes are generally steeper on the south bank with vertical cliffs and over 230 waterfalls. Most waterfalls arise can be seen along side tributaries of the south bank, such as the state's highest waterfall, Smith Falls. Other waterfalls are visible directly from the river, such as Berry Falls and Hardin Falls. Terraces and moderate slopes are more common on the north side of the river. These are cut by steep-sided canyons of tributary streams that flow across a broad plain defining the north edge of the valley.
