Weather forecast today was an unseasonably warm 80 degrees and I wanted a nice spot for lunch with some shade. It just so happened I was near Upson Community Park and today being a weekday meant it was completely deserted. I previously visited in July 2019 but sunlight was harsh that day, so this also … Read more
Last day of September 2021 and I’m starting off by returning to Superior Falls for things I missed in the past. Back in 2018 I explored from the bottom which also gives great views along Lake Superior (you can see that trip by clicking here). Today’s task was seeing the falls from above. I completely … Read more
Late in the afternoon I was having trouble deciding my next stop. While looking for a campsite along US-2, I stumbled upon a road sign pointing towards Yondata Falls on the Michigan U.P. side. I didn’t even have the place on my list and figured it’s worth a look. Boy was I in for a … Read more
Another stop in a very remote part of Vilas County, this time in the tiny town of Presque Isle, Wisconsin. I actually mistakenly stopped here because I had it marked down as a waterfall as I am not normally a fan of man-made spillways, but this one does have a bit of charm. If you … Read more
From Jennings Falls in Florence I was making a drastic change in direction and heading west towards the Ashland area. On the way I decided to take the scenic route across Hwy 70 and the backroads through the Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest (which I don’t have pictured here but it was a fantastic rustic … Read more
Another day in Wisconsin’s north woods and it’s a good one. Made my way up to Florence County in search of Jennnings Falls which I somehow overlooked on previous trips. The sun is shining, temperatures are perfect, and the leaves here are turning some fantastic colors. Let’s hit the trail. Access to the falls from … Read more
I was getting a bit burned out from moving between sites quickly, and so this afternoon I decided to slow it down a bit and give myself time to take in the scenery with a bit more leisure. There was one particular spot I had in mind where I missed an easily accessible falls back … Read more
Made a quick stop in Pembine, Wisconsin where Crain Lane intersects underneath the US 8 / US 141 overpass to check out a small waterfall that is only legally accessible from the sky. Plenty of room to park on the road shoulder here but make sure you are all the way off the road, it’s … Read more
Apparently I chose to punish myself today with difficult and uncertain hikes along the North Branch Pike River. At least for this trip I know a waterfall exists. From my last stop at Road 517 I went north to the next easternly road with no name and parked in the pullout area. Be aware this … Read more
Keeping with the South Branch Pike River I took a long drive through the Marinette County Forest in search of some hard to reach falls. I parked at the far north terminus of FR218 and parked in the pullout. The road forked from here but was too narrow for my liking to take the truck … Read more
