Description

Lat/Longitude data are _very_ approximate. Two class 3 rapids (Big and Little Falls) with some class 1 and 2 sections mixed in before and after Big Falls. Put in at the lot off Shaw Street by pulling boats down over the hill below the dam. Scouting for both big and Little Falls is best done via trails on river left, but the section by Big Falls may be private property, though unposted. Take out can be done by parking at the maintained lots by Little Falls, or you can paddle the remainder of the mostly flat water to the takeout on Big Lake.
