Chicagon Falls
Directions:
From US-2 & M189 in Iron River take US-2 10.3 miles to Long Lake Road (or 4 miles west of Crystal Falls) on the left (north), then follow Long Lake Rd 3.1 miles
and take a two-track on the right. Take this two-track 0.2 miles north to a fork and a hand made 'falls' sign on right. Take this fork to the right for 0.4 miles to another fork and turn left (there may be another hand made sign pointing the way here also)
Take this left fork 0.1 miles to yet another fork and stay to the left for 0.2 miles to yet another fork (sheesh, sounds complicated but it's not, (2 rights and 3 lefts but to get there you might need a 4-wheel drive vehicle or at least something with high ground clearance
as there's this big flat rock in the middle of the road somewhere's on the way) there might be another sign pointing the way if you're lucky) Stay to the
left yet again for about 0.2 miles to a washed out parking area at the top of the hill and walk 100 yards downhill to the falls.
Notes: Again this isn't the best of pictures because I didn't get to the other side of the river, there was a homemade footbridge that went across the top of the falls that was washed out
and I didn't have any waders with me to get to the other side. Here's another fall that I'll have to revisit just to get a better pic.
