Florence, Wisconsin is packed full of waterfalls and rapids. From Big Bull Falls in my previous post I drove to the next river over and found 2 more in the same area. The first of these is Meyers Falls. From the small parking area, you only have to walk down a small hill maybe a … 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
Still driving eastbound to my next campsite, I ended up in Shawano County and located Hayman Falls County Park. On arrival I didn’t know any better so I parked at the small pullout next to the entrance sign – if you visit here keep driving & park in the main gravel lot near the party … Read more
Just down the road from Big Falls and still on the Little Wolf River, there is another “waterfall” aptly named Little Falls. This is located in Waupaca County in an area sometimes labeled as a “town” but only consists of the Little Falls Tavern (by Wisconsin criteria this is fitting – if you got booze, … Read more
Another quick waterfall stop in Kennan, Wisconsin at Big Falls County Park & Campground. Access to the falls is extremely easy via a short staircase from the parking area down to the Jump River. Views down stream are breathtaking in their own right… But views upstream of Big Falls (also known as Jump River Falls) … Read more
After this morning’s ~4 mi. hike it was time for a lunch break. I decided to venture outside the park in search of more waterfalls (and a burrito at a place called Poco Loco). Next stop was Cascade Falls in Osceola, Wisconsin. History lesson: the town was named after Osceola, leader of the Seminole resistance … Read more
Yesterday I arrived at Interstate State Park, setup camp, and almost immediately set off searching for waterfalls in the surrounding area. Not quite sure I did it in that order, just a habit when I’m camping at a site for multiple nights my first day is always getting the “lay of the land”. Weather was a … 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
Woke early to finish what I missed yesterday at Copper Falls State Park (see part 1 by clicking here). This time I stayed east of the Bad River and made the loop counter-clockwise. Still amazes me this was built by the Doughboys WWI veterans and CCC so long ago – can you imagine making these … Read more
Not far from Saxon Falls is another waterfall that many of the locals suggest visiting. Also located on the Montreal River at the point it flows into Lake Superior is the aptly named Superior Falls. I wasn’t aware at the time you could view the falls from above, so my trip details hiking to the … Read more
