Woke early to get started on a decent bit of driving today. First stop on the way – you guessed it, another waterfall! This time it’s Big Falls in the town of Big Falls, Wisconsin (with a whopping 2010 census population of 61!). This one is super easy to access by parking at the hydroelectric house.
A quick hundred foot walk down a narrow access path leads you right to the bottom of the falls.
Egads a crustacean! Saw this big ol’ crawdad guarding his spot at the falls. Looks well fed! Edit 3/13/19: Looks like this is a Rusty Crayfish, an invasive species…
Big Falls isn’t all that big today, but for a small falls is pretty big I guess. Worth a quick stop if you’re in the area (which is to say the middle of nowhere).
Hiking Data
Not much of a hike here, just a quick walk down a narrow path. Might have to hop down a few rocks, don’t really remember it being anything super exciting.
