Many of the roads at Deer River State Forest are quite rough, and indeed one of these roads, probably Conservation Road is where I wore out a wheel bearing on my old Ford Ranger many a year ago now. Probably not bad on a mountain bike, though probably even there a bit rough.

The Deer River has some pretty impressive rapids as it winds through the Deer River State Forest.

One of the landmarks at Deer River State Forest is the Iron Bridge on Conservation Road, home to a designated campsite right on the river. There is some pretty impressive white-water on this section of the Deer River. I wouldn't call it a waterfalls, though it is pretty much that.
