Sleep was paused for my final night at Lost Lake Campground in Tipler, Wisconsin. Night skies were cooperative and outer space was revealing her secrets. Views from the camp beach with a beer in hand – pretty hard to beat. While the naked-eye views were spectacular, sadly my camera shots were blocked by the wispy … Read more
My second fail today at Little Bull Falls in Florence, Wisconsin was intentional but I still visited to scout for future expeditions. This one is 100% impossible unless you have whitewater paddling skills. According to the maps I can find, this small parking area is the best put-in point for a run down the Popple … Read more
Swing and a miss today attempting Three Foot Falls (Rd517) in Marinette County. These falls are on the Pike River about 1/2 mile away from Eighteen Foot Falls but there are no good formal trails to get there. First part is to find County Forest Road 517 at the intersection with 12 Foot Falls Road. … Read more
Rain has been on & off all day but that won’t stop the waterfall train a rollin’. Next stop is at Dave’s Falls County Park – a place I hadn’t researched much and wasn’t sure what to expect. A memorial tombstone is just off the parking lot. Appears the park is named for Dave Frechette, … Read more
Bull Falls in Amberg, Wisconsin is yet another amazing sight to behold in Marinette County. The trail to the falls is almost unrecognizable in the overgrown grass and brush, but following a path to the left of huge power poles will get you there.

More falls in Marinette County but sadly this shortened due to rain. Quick stop at Eighteen Foot Falls in Dunbar, Wisconsin. Trail is only 300 yards but does include some short challenging rock sections. Second signpost at trail head warns of DANGEROUS OVERLOOK so naturally this one must be good.

Now heading further east in Marinette County near Pembine/Kremlin, Wisconsin, I was in search of Quiver Falls on the Menominee River. Bullet holes in the State Recreation Area sign are nice, eh? Just a few steps from the main parking lot is the best view of the rapids below. Why is this called a “falls” … Read more
A short drive up the road from Smalley Falls and still on the North Branch Pemebonwon River is Long Slide Falls. Access can be found via Long Slide Falls County Park. Marinette county parks require a $5 fee but that entry charge is good for as many parks as you can reach in a day. … Read more
