Rapid River Falls

RapidClass III46.02202, -86.98217

Description

Much more of a 'rapids' than a real 'falls', the river drops over a series of bedrock ledges (none more than a foot-or-two in height). At low-boatable flows, this may be no more than bump-and-scrape class I-II. At moderate flows, expect solid class II, and at times of high flows, this area will have great waves and holes, and likely reach at least a solid class III. Good access in a County Park should allow for a 'park-and-play' at this location.

A USGS sampling site at the S15 bridge immediately downstream lists drainage at this point as 100 square miles.
