Natural Features

Loggers once used this scenic river to float timber downstream to distant mills. Today, canoeists can enjoy the river's continually changing scenery, from long slender lakes to narrow river channels, rapids and shallows. Make sure to observe Kettle Falls, about halfway down the river.
