Big Dipper via Algonquin trail

Post by DonandAndigo »

Hi there! Has anyone been down to Poland creek and the Big Dipper via the Algonquin trail from the trail head on 259? If so, how is the trail? Use? Water? I can’t find anything recent. Looking to do an overnight out and back there soon.
Thanks so much 🙏🏾

@DonandAndigo
I show someone went 4/6 of this year: [ Big Dipper - Castle Creek Wilderness ]
I'm sure there'd be water. The falls may just be dripping. There's room for a cozy two down there.
And be aware the rope is gone.
