While still in the Green Bay area I stopped by a local park to visit a small collection of falls named Baird Creek Falls. Access to the main falls shown here are very easy via a paved walking & bike path that circles the park. Overall drop is tiny but it’s still a waterfall for … Read more
Heading back towards home I ended up in the Green Bay area. Stopped at a small county park in the town of Scott to see Wequiock Falls. Access is extremely easy from the parking lot and your first views will be looking down 25 feet over the falls edge. Walking around the small gorge in … Read more
Just down the road from Waupee Creek Rapids is Bagley Rapids, another feature that should probably be named as a “falls” Access is fairly easy via the Bagley Rapids Recreation Area campgrounds. Here’s a closer view. You can see there is a clear drop that is more than just a rapids. Views upstream aren’t bad, … Read more
Slightly off the beaten path, my next destination is a small waterfall in the far southern Nicolet National Forest near the town of Mountain, Wisconsin to visit a small tributary called Waupee Creek. Forest service roads are the only access. While they look muddy & dangerous, the base is actually made of crushed granite and … Read more
Temperatures were colder than expected last night. I had no issue waking early and breaking down camp to get my adventures started. First stop was at Veterans Memorial Park near Crivitz, Wisconsin to see 3 falls in one single park. TONS of wild turkeys in Marinette county. This group was right on the entrance road … Read more
One last waterfall before the sun sets today. Just off Hwy 8 in the town of Pembine, Wisconsin you can find Kremlin Falls. This one is pretty obscure but worth the visit. The falls stretch over quite a distance – maybe 100 yards or so – with the largest single drop right at the top … Read more
Today’s main attraction is a 2-for-1 waterfall experience at the Menominee River State Recreation Area (also called Piers Gorge) from the Norway, Michigan side. The river separates Wisconsin and Michigan‘s Upper Peninsula, and while you can access from the Wisconsin side it is much more difficult with obstructed views. Enough with the words – let’s … Read more
From the parking area at Meyers Falls the trail forks. Taking the other path leads to Bull Falls. This isn’t your typical falls that has a sudden drop – instead it rambles over 100-200 yards. Overall drop is something like 15 feet. Water levels appear very high, photos I have found online often show more … Read more
Florence, Wisconsin is packed full of waterfalls and rapids. From Big Bull Falls in my previous post I drove to the next river over and found 2 more in the same area. The first of these is Meyers Falls. From the small parking area, you only have to walk down a small hill maybe a … Read more
Continuing my waterfall quest in NE Wisconsin. Much of this part of the journey involved gravel and dirt roads in the Fern/Fence townships south of Florence. Passed through swarms of wild turkeys – of course this only ever happens when I’m not trying to hunt. Big Bull Falls is my next target. From the parking … Read more
