Description

A good warmup rapids with a boulder field at the end. It ends in a large relatively still-water pool providing easy access to the start portage (or scouting trail) on river left, immediately after the private cabin. The portage is on private land. Use is thankfully permitted, so please respect the land-owner’s property. A 1/3-mile emergency-only hike-out exit from Little Bull Falls is along a gated, private access road to the cabin on river-right, across river from the portage takeout landing.
