Limp Wrist Falls, Austin Creek, Pixie Falls, and Husum Falls all come to mind. Kyle

Shipherd's Falls on the Wind, some drops on the Top Tye (Box Drop is easy to access), Silver Falls on the Ohanny if you wanna go huge, several of the falls on the N.F. Lewis, Sunset on the EF Lewis.

Well, FITW is a class IV creek run and the park and huck is class 5.
Limpwrist is a 40' drop, so not a great place to boof....
Why are you looking for a park and huck? I think a trip down the sky would be ideal. Your friend should practice learning how to boof over small rocks and ledges! Also, the sky is completely roadside.

The Sky is our home river. I'm looking for someplace other than boulder drop like Valley Falls in WV to break him in to falls that are low consequence.

Wow, what a good friend goin thru all this trouble to help boost his boating skills. How often does he/she boat? I've got a few friends into boating but they stall after buying a boat and gear. Things like watching stoopid soccer games (Sounders) on Saturday's keep them from ever hitting the rivers after my numerous invites to run easy runs. Where is their drive to paddle paddle paddle all the time and wanting to progress to the good stuff like I have? It blows my mind!!!
I started basically on my own, conned James into thinking I'm a legit guy so he would grant me a PP account (easiest step), made all these paddlers think I was their friend (suckers), all to work my way up and build my skills in whitewater paddling. Bwahahahaaaa!
Anyways, point of the story, well, my stories don't ever have points. Anyways, I heard Sunset Falls on East Fork of the Lewis is a good drop to boof and do laps on. Can't remember if it's park n huck cuz I haven't ran that run yet. Samson n sons never invite me every time they head down there! I'm still working on working him over though...

I second Blairs recommendation. Sunset is probably the best park and huck waterfall around that I can think of for your friend!
