As I started driving back towards camp, the GPS took me briefly across the Mississippi River and into Minnesota at Hudson. Came back into Wisconsin near Somerset, WI to search for Apple River Falls. There is no parking area here, just a small area on a gravel shoulder (if you visit here, please be mindful … Read more
Knocked out my failures early this morning but wasted lots of time doing so and it was now 5pm. Glad for all the sunlight on long summer days. My next stop of Glen Park in River Falls, Wisconsin was able to snag a quick and easy 2-for-1 by seeing Glen Park Falls & Junction Falls … Read more
Continued heading east on Hwy 13 back towards Cornucopia, Wisconsin. Sunshine was popping through the clouds and temperatures were in the mid 70’s. Perfect conditions to take an easy hike and check out Lost Creek Falls. Path start off as crushed gravel and transition to huge sections of boardwalk. The trail is extremely well maintained … Read more
The rain cleared up and sunshine started to peek out from the clouds as I made my way towards Twin Falls in Port Wing, Wisconsin. Entrance to the area is very easy via Twin Falls Park directly off Highway 13. From the parking lot, you can take the “upper” route to see the falls from … Read more
After failing to locate Shale Falls I had no time to waste – the day was relatively young and more falls were ahead. Next stop was Orienta Falls in the small town of Orienta, Wisconsin. Parking area is easy to reach and not far off Hwy 13. The trail isn’t much more than a worn … Read more
Amongst the many successful journeys I have taken, none come without at least a little work. This one was different. My attempt to reach Shale Falls in the Brule River State Forest was a failure, but I still feel successful in that nobody else (to my knowledge) has posted online with even this many details … Read more
Thunderstorms moved in quickly as I headed towards Mays Ledges, a series of rapids/waterfalls on the Bois Brule River. Thankfully the rain delay only lasted about 10 minutes before it was back to hiking. The trail nearest the parking lot is composed mostly of gravel and is very well groomed. A large wooden staircase descends … Read more
Independence Day 2018 and my first destination was a good one. Woke early and took a short 20 minute drive to Amnicon Falls State Park in nearby South Range, Wisconsin. Once again, evidence of damage from recent storms is seen right at the main entrance road. Several parts of the main trail are taped off … Read more
After taking the scenic route around WIS-13 and getting lost once or twice, I arrived at Pattison State Park where I camped for two nights. The park was fairly empty due to recent strong storms that caused great damage in this area a few weeks prior, but the campgrounds themselves were in excellent shape. Most … Read more
After Houghton & Echo Dells Falls, I started towards my destination by going along the shoreline of Lake Superior on WIS 13. Next location was in Cornucopia, Wisconsin at the very unique Siskiwit Falls. There are no paths here as all land is private property – you must wade through the river. Don’t want to … Read more
