Upper Dead River  Falls 1-5

Directions:  Go west on M-41/M-28 from Marquette and turn right (north) on Wright Street (first street past the mall). Drive about 3/4 miles and turn left onto Forestville Road. Take Forestville Rd about 2 1/2 miles until you come to the power plant and park in the parking area on the right. Follow the gravel path up the steep hill and then take the trail where someone has painted 'falls' on the aquaduct down to the first falls, then follow the river upstream about 1/2 mile to view all of the falls until the river flattens out and turns 90 degrees to the left.

Notes: It takes quite a bit of climbing up and down hills to visit these falls so be prepared but they're definitely worth it. Click on the thumbnail below for a larger picture.
