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 Three Foot Falls Rd517 [Failed]
Continuing down the Pike River our next stop is at Four Foot Falls. The narrow entrance road is basically across the street from Carney Rapids and the parking area can be very soft & sandy. You can get here in a normal car but something with high clearance isn’t a bad idea. The hike isn’t … Read more Four Foot Falls
Very quick stop at Carney Rapids on the North Branch Pike River near Dunbar, Wisconsin. It’s called a rapids but actually drops a few feet enough to call it a waterfall. Here’s the view from the road/bridge above – no hiking required, just park on the shoulder and walk a few steps. Not much else … Read more Carney Rapids
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 Dave’s Falls
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. Views upstream of the falls at a distance are surprisingly mild. … Read more Bull Falls (Amberg)
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 Horseshoe Falls
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 Eighteenfoot Falls

Miscauno Falls is located in Beecher, Wisconsin however it is locked on private property within the Miscauno Club. I visited anyway to see if there is contact information posted but found nothing besides a big red gate. Doesn’t appear there is any easy public access to this area. Failed but including on my blog for … Read more Miscauno Falls [Failed]
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 Pemene Falls
