Waterfalls of Michigan's Upper Peninsula

Michigan's Upper Peninsula contains over 324 waterfalls, many of them isolated and well off the beaten path. Most of them require some hiking to get to and others have many stairs to climb but it most cases whatever it took to get there was well worth the effort!

Click on the county to go to that county's waterfall map and a list of the falls in that county

I have a thumbnail page of all my Michigan waterfalls so if you want to see that page click here and I also have a list of most of the falls in the U.P.

I made this list of the top waterfalls in Michigan (this is just my personal opinion based on size, aesthetic beauty, location, ease of access and my own personal preferences based on falls that I have visited so this list is subject to change):

Steve's top Michigan Waterfalls

1) Taquamenom Falls The second largest waterfall east of the Mississippi (enough said)

2) Bond Falls A scenic large waterfall, perhaps the most picturesque in Michigan with good water flow

3) Black River Chain of Falls O.K. technically it's not one falls but they are so close together that you can count them as one (another must see)

4) Manabezho Falls Part of the Presque Isle chain of falls in the Porcupine Mountains State Park, probably the second biggest (area wise....H X W) falls in Michigan

5) Agate Falls A large (50 ft) falls with convenient access

6) Spray Falls A 70 ft waterfall that plummets over a sandstone cliff into Lake Superior

7) Miner Falls Another large falls with good water flow in Pictured Rocks

8) Laughing Whitefish Falls A 100 foot fall between Munising and Marquette

9) Superior Falls A nice falls on the Wisconsin border that is in a scenic canyon, there are also Interstate, Peterson and Saxon Falls on this stretch of the Montreal River

10) Upper Silver Falls A very hard fall to find but not that far from Canyon Falls and is in one of the most beautiful spots in Michigan with Upper Silver Falls 1-4 nearby

11) Dead River Falls A chain of 5 falls near the city of Marquette

12) Carp River Falls A 30 ft three tiered fall on the Lower Carp River near Marquette

13) Hungarian Falls A chain of 5 falls also in Michigan's Keweenaw peninsula (a peninsula in a peninsula, how about that!) but not very much water flow.

14) Canyon Falls Not that large of fall but very accessible

15) Sturgeon Falls A surprisingly powerful falls that entails a 25 minute hike

16) Eagle River Falls A very Picturesque falls

17) Chapel Falls Another fall in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

18) Unnamed Falls (er, uh..that means I can't decide) Any number of out of the way falls where you're the only one there.....e-mail me with your favorite!
