- Description:
- A tall, straight waterfall flowing first over a rounded rock then down a steep chute under a towering railroad trestle.
- Location:
- Marquette County at 46°33' 16.28" N, 87°30' 25.9" W (map)
- Nearby Falls:
- Upper Dead River Falls (0.5 miles), Mc Clure Dam Falls (0.6 miles), Upper Reany Falls (1.5 miles), Dead River Falls (1.6 miles)
- Area:
- The top of the dam is fenced off, but you can see both the basin and falls below from the parking spot. Several testing sites are near the bottom of the falls, and the area around the falls is very rocky. Hills surrounding the river are mostly logged out, and the trestle is a good distance above the falls.
- Trail:
- 30 minutes one-way
Follow the road away from the dam until you reach the yellow gate on the right side. Follow this until you reach the buried water pipe for the dam, then go right back to the bottom of the dam. Follow the river as close as possible, though you'll have to climb up the hills on the side at several different locations due to the river's steep walls. - Drive:
- 1 hour 51 mins from Houghton, MI (change)
