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

Twelve Foot Falls Just steps from the parking lot at the first park bench you can see Twelve Foot Falls … Read more
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?

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
Awoke this morning to some questionable weather – lots of thunderstorms in the area but very scattered in nature. Packed up camp & headed out to my first stop at Freeman Falls. WARNING: PRIVATE PROPERTY I originally stopped here the day before (6/29) and found this was private property. Notice the sunshine from these first … Read more
Another very easy & quick waterfall/rapids is Pissmire Falls located in the northern part of Menominee County, Wisconsin. For these you can basically drive up & park on the shoulder and view from the bridge across the Wolf River. Here’s the upstream view: Downstream view shown here. Unfortunately I can’t access any further because this … Read more
Quick stopover at Shotgun Eddy Rapids. This was included on my list as a waterfall of sorts (and it is relatively large/long) but it’s not much to see. Can be accessed via the Shotgun Eddy rafting rental & campground. I may return for the rafting/tubing experience but it wasn’t in the cards for this trip. … Read more
