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
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
Just a short drive upstream from McClintock Falls on the Peshtigo River is another amazing waterfall called Strong Falls. Access is extremely easy via Goodman Park – drive up the gravel entrance road, park in one of several small parking lots, and walk through the grass park to the falls. If you are interested in … Read more
Last night at Gov. Thompson SP was colder & wetter than expected, had to sleep in the car for a bit to stay warm. On the bright side I was wide awake at sunrise and ready for adventure. First stop was McClintock Park in Marinette County in search of McClintock Falls. Several large wooden arch foot … Read more
Northern Wisconsin fall colors were calling my name. It has been too long since my last camping trip and I aimed to remedy that. Aided by a long 3-day weekend I packed the car and headed for the forests. Quick pitstop on the way at Titletown Brewing Company in Green Bay for an elk burger … Read more
