Ajibikoka Falls

Wayne Premo

At Brush Lake's northern outlet into Sucker Creek there is a high cliff and a two-tiered waterfall. The top waterfall is a ten foot drop but water is obscure. The lower tier is very pretty. This is a nice spot and walk around the lake.
Getting to the lake is easier than walking its length. It is a wet but not too difficult walk. The distance is over one mile, as it is not possible to walk straight by the lake.

Take FS 206 west from US 45 three miles north of Watersmeet. Go about two and one half miles until you come to a small river.

Park just east of river and go in on a two track road north until it turns east. At this point take an obscure path north. (It is hard to follow, so use a compass to avoid going east.)

You will reach a big rock at the south end of Brush Lake. Go north staying close to the lake. The waterfall is at the north end of the lake.
