Had a few surplus vacation days this year and not much time to plan or use them up. Took a couple off for a brief weekend expedition to continue exploring and hiking across Wisconsin’s Door County peninsula. As is customary, I left home very unprepared, stopped and grabbed essential supplies at the store, promptly drove … Read more
More intermittent rain today but not enough precipitation to stop my plans. Next up was some hiking at Kinnikinnic State Park in River Falls, Wisconsin. To be honest I didn’t know much about this park before visiting but afterwards it’s easy to see why it’s a special place. From the far west parking area I … Read more
Another quick stop in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin at Duncan Creek Rapids. This one is very easy to access right from the bridge on Columbia Street just off WI-124. The downstream views aren’t very exciting but there are smaller riffles for quite some distance. Upstream of the bridge is the real feature – several substantial rapids … Read more
Morning of the 5th now and it’s another rainy day but I’m not stopping. Next attempt is at Second & Third Trestle Falls in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest just south of Mellen, Wisconsin. Lots of smaller rapids along the Bad River in this location. Access is very difficult and I am not providing details – … Read more

Attempted Tyler Forks Dells Falls but failed with a capital F. I did reach the parking area at the end of Moore Park Road but from there it kind of sputtered out. Bushwhacking looked like one heck of a chore in July’s dense brush. Temps were still around 90°F today and none of this looked … Read more
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
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
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
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
If you are a fan of waterfalls definitely don’t skip over Marinette County. So many amazing places to see up here. This stop was a 2-for-1 at Twelve Foot Falls County Park in Dunbar, Wisconsin. Twelve Foot Falls Just steps from the parking lot at the first park bench you can see Twelve Foot Falls … Read more
