Moving north from Minnehaha the railroad is in a small cut. There was once a short stub track on the left that served a sawmill that is where the current Minnehaha road turnaround is. The ground has been manipulated quite a bit making it hard to believe a siding could have been here. |

White Water |
| Description: |
This is a spot once called White Water. From 1996 to 2018 a platform once existed on the rocks on the right where people would load canoes onto the train for a trip back to Thendara after they had traveled down the Moose River from Tickner's Outfitters dock in Old Forge. Tickner's owners have now retired and the business is closed. |
