Lower Rapids Trail

This is a scenic loop trail that starts at the park entrance parking lot on the highway. It follows what may be an old portage around the rapids and waterfalls.

Watch for waterfowl on the river and listen for the call of the green frog and the almost constant singing of the red-eyed vireo. Rushing River cascades over rock gouged by glaciers in a series of rapids but elsewhere is passable by canoe.

A forest fire in 1910 cracked open pine cones and scattered heat-resistant seeds, resulting in trees all the same height around Dogtooth Lake.

Canoe routes are easily accessible from the park.
