Description
This is named the "Four Falls Section" in honor of (what else) the four falls which are highlights of this run. You will encounter (in order): Bull Falls (more of a rapids, really), Eighteen Foot, Twelve Foot and Eight Foot Falls. Heights (in general) are exaggerated. All falls are runnable at good water levels. Below the 'recommended minimum' it may be possible to drop a couple of the falls, but they will be bony 'boat abuse'. At high water the falls will develop some meaty holes. Other than the four falls, there is almost nothing but flatwater on this reach, so it is highly advisable to take a good look at 12' and 8' Falls before shuttling and putting on for this run. (If you are not running the falls, you are essentially doing a flatwater trip with scenic portages.) This entire area (18-Foot Falls, 12-Foot Falls, and 8-Foot Falls) is readily accessible via a Marinette County Park. In appreciation for the facilities provided (parking, bathrooms, campgrounds, etc), \*\*\* _**please be honest and pay the requested fee.\*\*\***_ Paying the fee gets you legal access to as many different parks in Marinette County as you can visit in one day. Thus, if you might plan to look at and/or run the nearby "Big South Falls" section of the South Branch Pike, or Dave's Falls, or head up to Long Slide Falls or Smalley Falls (on the Peme Bon Won) either before or after this run, one fee would cover all these parks.
