Between 20-25 feet. Some of the biggest I've run are Potter's Falls on the Crooked Fork, which is about 20 feet, and Wonder Falls on the Lower Big Sandy, which is 18. I have my eyes set on a few 30 footers to work towards. The highest waterfall that's been run in a canoe is only 55 feet, and that guy broke his back, so running big drops in a canoe is really uncharted territory

Haha I just prepared my taxes, that was pretty daunting!
Strange as it may seem, I don't like falling. When I paddle off of a waterfall I feel like I have control so it doesn't scare me as much, but for pure adrenaline I would probably skydive or bungie jump.
I also got really drunk one night and purposefully swam over the waterfall in the picture, that was the coolest thing I think I've ever done

Doable. Maybe. Possibly.
One C1er (closed canoe) tried in 1990. They still haven't found him.
The problem is the waterfall erodes so badly that there are probably tons of rocks at the base of Horseshoe falls that we can't see because of the mist. But if I ever get terminal cancer, I might give it a shot

I would not do it because the risk of death is too high, so if I was going to do it it would have to be at a point in my life where death was not a bad outcome
