About This Access Site
**Location & Facilities**
Big Falls is a public boat ramp access point located in Marion, Waupaca County, approximately 100 feet upstream from Highway C bridge. The site features a gravel boat ramp with a small trailer parking area and a 1/3-acre landing area. A picnic area with permanent tables overlooks Big Falls Pond and the Little Wolf River, with scenic granite rock outcroppings. This is a convenient put-in for paddlers and boaters looking to access the Little Wolf River flowage.
**What to Expect**
Big Falls Pond and the Little Wolf River drainage lake support panfish, largemouth bass, and smallmouth bass fishing. Paddlers should be aware of potential hazards including log jams near the launch area and low-hanging limbs in the rapids sections. Those planning longer paddles should note there's a mile-long rapids run downstream, with additional navigation challenges requiring caution. The site is best suited for kayakers and canoeists comfortable with moving water and occasional obstacles.
