Mulligan  Falls 

(Upper and Lower)

 

 

Water Source:

Mulligan Creek

County:

Marquette

Height:

30, 25  ft

Trail:

1.5 mile

Location:

18 miles N of Ishpeming

N 46 41.088

W 87 49.490

 Directions:  From US-41, drive north, on County Road 573 (Deer Lake Road) about 15 miles until you come to the Dead River. Immediately after crossing the river take the road on the left for 1.1 miles (crossing Mulligan's Creek) to the second two-track on the right. Take this two-track north 3.2 miles to a wooden bridge. Cross the bridge by foot or drive thru the water around it and go 0.8 miles to a fork, take the left fork 0.2 miles to an overgrown two-track on the left. Follow this 1/2 mile to the falls. 

There is also another waterfall in this area that my friend Kevin McCann told me about which can be reached by going straight 0.4 miles past the overgrown two-track (instead of turning left) until you reach Stager Creek and the falls should be on the left @ N 46 41.256 W 87 49.559. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Kevin for all of his help and information that is contained on these pages.....Thanks Kevin!!

Notes: I haven't visited this falls yet (hence the no picture) but I do have some alternate directions with road names.......Start on County Road 573: turn west on County Road GO, which becomes County Road CCO; turn north on County Road CCH which becomes County Road AAH; turn north on County Road AAO then you will cross the Dead River right before you turn northwest onto County Road AAT. You will cross over a creek (Mulligan) then take the second road right (north). Take this two-track north 3.2 miles to a wooden bridge. Cross the bridge by foot or drive thru the water around it and go 0.8 miles to a fork, take the left fork 0.2 miles to an overgrown two-track on the left. Follow this 1/2 mile to the falls.
