River Description
Put-in is reached (from L'Anse, MI) by heading out on Skanee Road, which becomes Erick Road just before Big Erics Bridge. Continuing 4.5 miles East-South-East of that bridge, Erick Road veers more Easterly and becomes Northwestern Road (eventually becoming Triple-A or AAA Road). It will likely be necessary to park on a stub at this bend and carry/drag South, then West down an abandoned railroad grade (a total of nearly a mile) to get to the river. (Note: Looking on aerial views you may see various logging roads which look like they might provide other access. While some of them may work for later spring or random summer rain events which may bring this to runnable conditions, they will not be passable with road vehicles in early or mid spring when most runs are done on this river.)
Two big drops (Big Falls and East Branch Falls) and a number of deceptively powerful smaller ones punctuate this scenic gem.

The run starts out with some scenic
boating past some cool rocks walls.
Arguably the high point of a trip down the E.Br.Huron is a chance to run East Branch Falls.
