- The North Fork, approximately 28 miles (45 km) long, originates at the outlet of small, rarely visited Lake Kanim, 47°39′41″N 121°28′58″W. Almost directly after exiting the lake it drops over Kanim Falls. The river then flows east before making a wide turn north. Just before its confluence with the Middle Fork the river flows through a canyon near Ernie’s Grove. There are several waterfalls within this canyon including Fantastic Falls.

Out on summer break, Alexander Schmorell and two friends decided to bike from Munich to Donauwörth, intending to catch a boat and float down the Danube to Austria. On paper, the 100-kilometer (60 mile) bike ride looked easy. The terrain was relatively flat, a biker’s paradise.
