Luce County, MI

The Upper Falls possess a 50-foot drop and a 200-foot wide opening where over 50,000 gallons of water flow through every second during the wet, spring months. It is one of the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi River — only Niagara Falls surpasses it in size! Four miles downstream sits the Lower Falls, a series of five falls that spill all around a tiny island formation that’s accessible by a footbridge or rowboat.

Alger County, MI

About 10 miles northeast of Munising on Miners Castle Road, Miners Falls is the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore’s most powerful falls. Dropping 50 feet over a sandstone rock formation, there are two separate viewing platforms (the upper and lower overlooks) to take in this natural beauty.

Marquette, MI

The first drop of Dead River Falls is a momentous cascade into a large pool below, where many enjoy swimming during the warmer months. Continue upstream to see the second drop into a narrow, shallow stream, and a third that flows about 15 feet across three ledges. You will know it’s time to turn around when you come to a large pool of water at the end of the trail.
