- Area:
- Thick, brushy woods and a grassy path lead up to the top of the waterfall and a nice bluff that overlooks the lake and surrounding area. Shoreline near the lake is developed where the creek flows in.
- Trail:
- 20 minutes one-way
Cross the road and head up at the trail marker, climbing the hill and keeping to the right, until you reach the waterfall viewing site. To see all of the falls, you will have to make your way down the steep, sandy cliff here (probably sliding most of the way) and then follow the rocky creek bed to the lower falls. The creek gets very brushy after the falls, so it may be easiest to climb back up the bank to the trail again. - Drive:
- 53 mins from Houghton, MI (change)
