Lower Carp River  Falls 1-6

 

 

Water Source:

Carp River

County:

Marquette

Height:

4, 6, 12, 30, 6, 3  ft

Trail:

1/2 mile

Location:

3.5 mi SW of Marquette

N 46 30.210

W 87 26.782

 Directions:  Take CR-553 south 1.7 miles from Marquette and turn right on a trail road/snowmobile trail just before a guard rail and the Marquette Mountain Ski Hill. Continue on this old railroad bed until you come to a parking area for Morgan Falls. Cross the river upstream of Morgan falls  then follow the Carp River upstream about 1/2 mile to the right to view all of the falls.  The largest falls is #4 (I think) and there's a 6 footer and a couple of smaller ones above that that I skipped seeing. On the way back, backtrack from the largest fall to the little camping area  then climb the hill and follow the water pipe back to the road.

Here's the 4 falls that I seen:

 

Carp River Falls #1

Carp River Falls #2

Carp River Falls #3

Carp River Falls #4
