Description
Big Prairie is a historic Forest Service ranger station and work center established in 1904 and moved to its current location in 1912. It is recognized from the river by the pack bridge. The work center is a quarter mile up the right bank. Floaters can stop in for current river and trail conditions. This is a traditional start point for the run, for those hiking in from Holland Lake Trailhead, but you can head upstream for a higher put-in.
