Description

As you pass under Hwy.FF (the listed take-out for this run), Lake-of-the-Falls County Park is on the left (with a canoe launch/landing), and Lake-of-the-Falls Campground is on the right.

This is the recommended take-out because just downstream, there is a set of falls which are rocky and will be a portage for most paddlers of this long and otherwise mostly flat reach.

The first falls is spanned by a footbridge, and there are trails along shore to view the rest of this falls area.
