This small falls/rapids is located along the Canada - US border. It is only about 5 km west from Hwy 61, but I missed it on my trip to this area. Be careful to stay on the Canadian side of the river if you decide to get up close.
My examination of Google's streetview makes it look like this could be difficult to visit. There is a wire guardrail along the side of the road, making it impossible to pull over (I think). Also, there is a steep incline from the road down to the river. Since the river is close to the road, it may be possible to see from the roadside. But I can't be certain.
This waterfall is coded yellow because of the steep slopes that would have to be traversed. Also, I do not have information on the condition of the access route. Anyone that visits this site does so at their own risk.
