Photo Blog with Waterfalls, Hiking, and other Outdoor Adventures
While in The Dells area I checked out a couple waterfall spots but many of the water sources feeding smaller falls are dried up right now. Rather than waste my whole day, I headed to Mirror Lake State Park and got my kayak on the water. Main goal was to test out a new PFD … Read more
Finally I had arrived in New Mexico’s Gila Wilderness! It was a long drive and I completely underestimated how long the final stretch would take but I made it in one piece. Had to take a few glamour shots of the new-to-me Toyota Tacoma that handled the terrain like a champ. These photos were at … Read more
Wrapping up my day trip I headed to…a lake to find a waterfall? Doesn’t sound right but in the remote town of Marion, Wisconsin is where you can find Keller Lake Falls. Access is extremely easy by driving right up to a small bridge on the Keller Lake Park road and parking the car. The … Read more
Back on the hunt for waterfalls at Rock Dam County Park & Campground near the remote small town of Willard, Wisconsin. According to my notes this should be accessible through the campground. Nobody was available that day so I went around to Rock Cut Dam first to check for public access. Some excellent views of … Read more
Another quick stop for my checklist at Eau Galle Spillway. Not really interested much in man-made “waterfalls” but since I wasn’t far away I decided to make the drive just for laughs. Access is very easy via Eau Galle Park which is just a small roadside stop that time has forgotten and looks to be … Read more

Bit of a late start this morning (had to move campsites, was the only way I could get a last minute reservation) but sometime around 10am I was on the trail. Agenda for the morning was to hike Bay View and Point Trails looping back to the campground. I started from camp towards the Bay … Read more
Shifting gears during the midpoint of this road trip and floating my car & camping gear to Big Bay State Park on Madeline Island. I was getting cranky from all the driving so my first action item was to stretch out my legs and hike the Boardwalk Trail. Originally I was going to make a … Read more
Home base for the past couple of days has been Copper Falls State Park. I skipped them on this trip in favor of other destinations (see old posts here, don’t skip these if you’ve never visited before) but the weather did give me an opportunity for some fantastic night photography. Clear Sky Charts confirm this … Read more
Plans today went sideways in a hurry. Intended to camp at Beaver Lake near Marengo but the black flies were overwhelming. Spent lots of time driving in search of campsites and ended up at Copper Falls State Park ecstatic they had one open site left. Rain would take over in the evening but I’ll save … Read more
