Description

Downstream of the course lies Isle of Ferns (aka 'Fern Island'). A footbridge connects to the river-left multi-use path, giving pedestrians and bikers access to this island, which has a bit of a loop-trail.

Each August (generally the third weekend, which corresponds to the annual Midwest Freestyle Championships), the Big Bull Falls Blues Fest is held on this island, making that a grand weekend to be in Wausau! (We should note that the blues fest is Friday evening and Saturday afternoon/evening, while the freestyle event is morning/afternoon Saturday and Sunday, with 'practice water' time also on Thursday and Friday.)
