River DescriptionPut-in is at Burned Dam Campground either above or below Mex-i-min-e Falls, a class III or IV rapid depending upon flow. It may be noted that one of the holes in this drop has been known to forcibly extricate paddlers from their boat. The reach from there is a pleasant float with intermittent rockbed rapids. Little Falls is marked on the maps where the river enters the Bond Falls Flowage. It is quite possible that the falls itself is buried beneath the waters of the flowage as there is only a short class II drop there now. There is an egress paddle of about 2 miles over the waters of the flowage to a public access point off Bond Falls Rd. Bond Falls itself is located below the dam on the north side of the road and is well worth a visit if in the area. Like Agate Falls downstream, it is a high drop onto rock and not runnable but very scenic.As the final 2.4 miles of river before the flowage are primarily moving water, one may wish to use an alternate take-out at Interior Rd leaving a total distance of 6 miles.
