Serpents Tail Rapids River Dee ... (Horseshoe Falls to Llangollen Town Weir) NAME OF RIVER: Dee (or Afon Dyfrdwy if you're Welsh...) WHERE IS IT?: It flows from Bala lake into a beautiful valley parallelled by the A5 for much of the way. There is a pleasant easy stretch above the one described here. PUT-INS/ TAKE-OUTS: Put in above or below horseshoe falls, this is located just above Chain Bridge hotel on the true river left side. There's a free car park with toilets where you can park and get changed. Walk down towards chain bridge and up the canal to horse shoe falls. Take out is 200 meters after town falls (under the bridge in Llangollen town) on river left. You'll see some steps leading out of the river and to a car park. The other option is to park at Mile End Mill/ Factory falls/ Nomads/ Tombstones (depending on how long you've been paddling) and either stay there on the play features or do a loop using the canal. MEM is located on the A5 just before you get into the 30 zone in Llangollen if your coming from Corwen.
