County:

25

Trail:

1 mi

Location:

2.5 miles N of Bete Grise

N 47 23.683

W 87 50.384

Directions: From Lac La Belle go east about 2.5 miles until you see a gravel road that goes east when the main road turns south. Follow this dirt road (Smith Fisheries Rd) to the Smith Fisheries. Here you can park and walk the extra 3/4 mile or drive being VERY careful of washouts along the cliffs to Lake Superior (its only about a 35 foot drop). Once you reach the end of this road there is a well worn path that follows the Lake Superior shoreline about 1 mile to the falls.

Notes: These falls are on logging company property and there are a myriad of logging roads going every which way and it is very easy to get lost as there are no road signs.  When I went there someone had painted blue arrows on trees that point the way to the falls so watch for them, last I heard they are still there.
