Description

Put-in is from a logging road on river-right 0.4 mile upriver of Black Creek Road bridge. (Or, if that is impassible, right at Black Creek Road bridge, skipping that warm-up drops up there.) Take-out is at a logging road 1.5 miles upstream (south) from Skanee Road. Both accesses may be sketchy in early season (late-winter/early-spring). This run is characterized by many short ledgey-drops, and a couple fine falls. A fine photo-essay of West Branch Falls is available at Waterfalls of the Keweenaw.
