The Bigfork River runs right through this town of a few hundred people on its way north toward the Rainy, and Little American Falls interrupts it along the way. That hike covers a mile out and back on easy ground with dogs welcome. Deadmans Rapids matches it at a mile. Hannine Falls holds a spot on the list without any trail data, so save it for a day of poking around. Three falls total show inside fifty miles of this quiet stretch of the north woods.

Located at 47.7473°N, -93.6525°W
