The aptly named White River is a wild river that flows into the north eastern corner of Lake Superior. On its 80km journey it tumbles over a large number of rapids and a couple of significant waterfalls such as Chicagonce Falls, Umbata Falls and Chigawinminigum Falls. Sadly the wild nature of the river is being threatened by a number of hydroelectric projects. Most of the river can only be seen by canoe, but the rapids and falls pictures belowed can be visited on foot.

Takeout Rapids is about a kilometer upstream of Umbata Falls. This rapids is much more impressive than many named falls that I have seen elsewhere. It is sort of a minature version of both Umbata Falls and Chigamiwinigum Falls. This rapids is likely to be drowned by the hydro project.
