Another unique waterfall in Marinette County is Horseshoe falls which is downstream from Twelve Foot Falls still on the Pike River. Trail head is easy to find though it does require navigating some forest roads. The trail starts off in quite nice condition with a firm base of gravel. You can see how green and … Read more
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. View at the top of … Read more
If you are a fan of waterfalls definitely don’t skip over Marinette County. So many amazing places to see up here. This stop was a 2-for-1 at Twelve Foot Falls County Park in Dunbar, Wisconsin. Twelve Foot Falls Just steps from the parking lot at the first park bench you can see Twelve Foot Falls … Read more
Continuing along the Menominee River in White Pine Haven, Wisconsin my next stop at Pemene Falls carried me into Faithorn Township, Michigan as the best access point. From the parking area it’s only a short walk to the falls down a dirt path. Lots of rapids upstream and downstream. From above the falls looking down it’s … Read more
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
First day of July and my first marching orders today are to see the fantastic Smalley Falls in Niagara, Wisconsin. Getting to the parking area is fairly easy and it’s only a short 250 yard hike but take caution as there are some steep/dangerous spots. Once you manage the short trail there is high reward … Read more
Quick stopover at Shotgun Eddy Rapids. This was included on my list as a waterfall of sorts (and it is relatively large/long) but it’s not much to see. Can be accessed via the Shotgun Eddy rafting rental & campground. I may return for the rafting/tubing experience but it wasn’t in the cards for this trip. … Read more
Just downstream from Sullivan Falls is yet another set of substantial feature named Ducknest Rapids. Only have one photo to share – be sure to watch the video below, much easier to show everything with the wide-angle GoPro lens. Note: Apparently there is a waterfall called Ducknest Falls just upstream from the rapids, however I … Read more
Continuing upstream along the Wolf River my next stop is at Sullivan Falls, an easily accessible waterfall and well worth the short walk. Couldn’t photograph the falls from many different angles but it’s fairly large so don’t miss it. Also looks like a popular put-in spot for a group of rafters. Looks like fun, lots … Read more
