Description

Big Falls provides area boaters a play spot and nice sized drop. The river splits around a small island. River left is pretty much of a sheer drop about 5-6' (practice your 'boof'), while river right is a series of steps and slides which should provide more play possibilities. Do the full, listed, 1.4 mile run, or just park-and-play at Big Falls. We have no specific info about Little Falls, other than it is just upstream of the bridge on Hwy.K. (Thus, if you put-in right at the bridge, you miss that falls!) This may provide a fine companion piece for boaters who take advantage of the scheduled releases at Jim Falls on the Chippewa River.
