Description

The Rancheria Bridge (Forest Road 4103-087), a low water bridge at McCaleb Ranch typically requires a portage. This is also an alternate access point for those who want to paddle this reach but don't want to deal with a portage at Illinois River Falls or the bridge. There is also a foot trail bridge just upstream of the road bridge, but it is currently closed and in disrepair/ unusable.  USGS river mile 39.4.
