Description

Big Ike (Ikes Falls) is visible from Highway 96 near the Ikes Falls River Access road. Depending upon flow, there are routes on the left and right or, at high flows, down the center. This is the Karuk fishing site known as Y'utim'îin, and it is sometimes fished in the late summer and fall, so be on the lookout for dipnet fishermen on the river left at the entry to the rapid.
