Forty Foot Falls (Cliff Falls)

 

 

Water Source:

Cliff River

County:

Marquette

Height:

40 ft

Trail:

100 ft

Location:

12 miles West of Big Bay

Directions: From US-41 take Broad St into L'Anse and turn right onto Main St. This road turns into Skanee Rd and follow it east until you reach Skanee. From here go east for another mile and a half to where the road forks. Take the right fork to Big Bay on Big Bay Rd. (don't count on a road sign). After about a mile you should come to a bridge, from here travel another 6.7 miles until a large clearing on the right. There should be a road to the left with a green road sign. Follow this road (there should be another road just off to the left that leads back to the main road if you are on the right road) past the swamp on the left and the cliff Falls Hunting Club. Stay to the right at the fork in the road and travel another .9 mile to the top of the hill, the falls are on the right.

Notes: The road back to the falls was not in very good condition and there were some rather large mud puddles, so I would recommend a four wheel drive vehicle to visit these falls.

Here's a pic of the road to the falls:
