Follow the trail to the left of the large Ottawa National Forest sign to the river. West Branch Yellow Dog Falls should be upstream here. Cross below the falls on one of the fallen logs and continue on the trails, which slowly climbs the side of the hill while continuing east. When you hit the river, you should see an ancient cedar bridge. Head upstream on either side of the river to see all of the falls. A swamp is located just upstream of the uppermost falls. Trail isn't marked but is well-traveled to the last river, where it starts to die out and meander. - Drive:
- 2 hours 9 mins from Houghton, MI (change)
