Attean Falls

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Paddlers on the Northern Forest Canoe Trail use Attean Falls as an overnight stop where the Moose River meets Attean Pond, and the site doubles as a portage area for that section of the route. Two sites are available, North and South, each with a picnic table and fire ring. They share a single outhouse. Foot traffic from portaging canoeists passes through, so site placement matters. The Narrows- Attean Pond is another boat-in option on the same pond for paddlers wanting a different position on the water.

Remote Camping Along the Northern Forest Canoe Trail

There are two sites available here (North and South) and both are beautiful! The site is also a portage area for a section of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail. We spent our second night on a short multi day trip here. The site sits at the mouth of the Moose River as it flows into Attean Pond. If you are looking for a secluded spot, this is a great one.

There is an outhouse available (shared with the other site) and was in relatively decent shape when we were there in October. The site also has a picnic table and fire ring. There is a nice semi-protected point where we pitched our tent under a full moon. If the area is busy, you might experience a little foot traffic near the site along the portage trail, so be aware of your where you place your gear.

If you are looking to do a section (and a loop even) trip on the NFCT, this is a great area to do it as long as you've got the ability to portage your boat and gear.
