Description
After about 1.5 miles of flatwater, a couple of little ledge/wave/holes are the signal that you are approaching Big Eddy Falls. A very impressive amphitheater-like scene awaits, and a long portage (if needed). An initial sliding drop leads to a middle pool, then a (likely bigger, nastier) drop into the bottom pool. (There may be a river-left route on this lower drop which could be more friendly than the main chute.)
The name refers to the huge pool with "big eddies" on both sides circulating back to the drop.
A tribal council member's house sits below the pool, having a full view of the falls out a big picture window. This house is at the end of Trampe Road (AKA BIA 82).
