I stayed at Potato River Falls nearly until dark and hadn’t planned a campsite – not an oversight, just didn’t expect to take that long (but it was worth it). Although I could have just camped there at a primitive site, I badly needed a shower from the hot temperatures. Lucky for me there were … Read more
Last stop of the day is for what is being called Wren Falls Lower – another small waterfall a ways downstream from the main Wren Falls. This one isn’t marked on the maps but you can see it on overhead Google Earth views. I parked in the only wide spot off Wren Falls Trail road … Read more
Another stop in Iron County, and another location that I hadn’t fully explored on my last trip. Wren Falls sure had a lot of new things to show me today compared to what I saw in the summer of 2019. Weather was perfect and colors right now are near peak – can’t think of a … Read more
Last day of September 2021 and I’m starting off by returning to Superior Falls for things I missed in the past. Back in 2018 I explored from the bottom which also gives great views along Lake Superior (you can see that trip by clicking here). Today’s task was seeing the falls from above. I completely … Read more
After spending lots of time driving & hiking to Copper Creek Falls my day was nearly over. Still, I found just enough time to reach Foster Falls near Upson/Gurney, Wisconsin. Overall this is fairly easy to reach via county forest roads and the hike is relatively short. The biggest challenge is jumping across several small … Read more
My first two stops this morning took considerable amounts of time. For the afternoon I planned to circle back through Iron County and try some remote destinations. First up is Wren Falls near Anderson/Saxon, Wisconsin. You can drive up via fairly well graded forest roads and park several hundred yards down the hill. There is … Read more
Heading back towards Copper Falls State Park I took a short detour for my checklist and found Kimball Falls. Yet another waterfall on the Montreal River (west fork) located in the small village of Kimball at the Town Park. Not a huge drop like some other recent spots but the park area is very quiet and … 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
Heading farther north and closer to the city of Hurley, Wisconsin I found myself at a hydro-power dam that I thought was a waterfall. Thankfully one of the trail signs cleared up my mistake and confirmed I was near Saxon Falls. Pipes leading from the hydro dam cross the Montreal River into Michigan and eventually meet … Read more
