Description
Where CTH.N crosses the South Fork of the Jump River, you would have no idea what lies just upstream and downstream. At N, the river is flat and flowing, recovering from Little Falls, and readying for Big Falls.
Little Falls is roadside off Big Falls Rd less than a mile east of Cty N, and Big Falls is about 1.3 miles to the west.
Each 'falls' can easily be done as a PnP (carry-up, carry-out), as there is a lot of action in a brief area at each.
In fact, when many experienced boaters talk
about paddling "the Jump", they are referring to just a PnP on Big Falls (as though
there were no other parts of the Jump to consider paddling) ... and for them, that might indeed be the case, but those looking for somewhat less challenging rapids or a longer trip will find some of our other listed sections quite worthwhile!
By the way . . . any time you are on shore (at either Little Falls or Big Falls), be aware there is plenty of poison ivy around. (KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!!!)
