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
Woke early to get started on a decent bit of driving today. First stop on the way – you guessed it, another waterfall! This time it’s Big Falls in the town of Big Falls, Wisconsin (with a whopping 2010 census population of 61!). This one is super easy to access by parking at the hydroelectric house. … 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
Heading out from Interstate State Park today heading eastbound (I had to book my trip this way due to uncertainty from the heavy rains & flooding along the Mississippi). Today would be spent mostly on the highway with 5 hours of driving. First stop to break up the day was Little Falls in Winter, Wisconsin. … 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
Last stop before camp was again on the Apple River but slightly farther north around Amery/Little Falls, Wisconsin. This was another unique location offering two falls in one spot with less than 1/4 of separation. Starting at the WI DNR public fishing area, I made my way down the foot-worn path to see both Pike … Read more
As I started driving back towards camp, the GPS took me briefly across the Mississippi River and into Minnesota at Hudson. Came back into Wisconsin near Somerset, WI to search for Apple River Falls. There is no parking area here, just a small area on a gravel shoulder (if you visit here, please be mindful … Read more
Knocked out my failures early this morning but wasted lots of time doing so and it was now 5pm. Glad for all the sunlight on long summer days. My next stop of Glen Park in River Falls, Wisconsin was able to snag a quick and easy 2-for-1 by seeing Glen Park Falls & Junction Falls … Read more
