- Area:
- Thick woods with plenty of undergrowth surround the creek. The lakes, swamps, and creeks are in a bit of a valley. Several beaver dams create swamps at the bottom of the valley, making the area very buggy.
- Trail:
- 75 minutes one-way
Follow the forestry trail until it peters out about a mile in, then follow the creek as best you can inland. Falls are between the second and third beaver dam swamp areas. If the woods get to thick, heading directly up the incline will take you to a service road that passes through a rifle range and ends several hundred feet above the falls. - Drive:
- 42 mins from Houghton, MI (change)
