Very quick stop at Carney Rapids on the North Branch Pike River near Dunbar, Wisconsin. It’s called a rapids but actually drops a few feet enough to call it a waterfall. Here’s the view from the road/bridge above – no hiking required, just park on the shoulder and walk a few steps. Not much else … Read more
LaSalle Falls is my next destination and is not far from the last stop at Washburn Falls. Trail is very easy to find at a large parking area with well marked signs, maps, and even paper pamphlets. This area on the Pine-Popple Wild Rivers is managed by the Wisconsin DNR and is open for many … 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
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? Just a few steps from the main parking lot is the best view of the rapids below. Why is this called a “falls” … Read more
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
