Is about 15 miles south of Duluth-Superior and located in Wisconsin's Pattison State Park. Big Manitou Falls, to the right, is Wisconsin's highest waterfall at about 165 feet. While the falls is impressive, the park needs to cut a trail (or construct a staircase) down the side of the canyon to allow a closer view. We actually liked Little Manitou Falls better (lower photo). A scenic hiking trail leads to it. > > >
Amnicon Falls . . .Is about 15 miles east of Duluth-Superior and located in the Wisconsin state park of the same name. A pretty little park with nice picnic areas. The water levels were down as it was the fall of the year. |

) ) Waterfalls on the Bayfield Peninsula The maps show some small waterfalls between Amicon Falls and Bayfield, Wisconsin . . . yet we have yet to find them. |
On highway 13 at the western end of the Bayfield Peninsula is Wisconsin's most northern town - Cornucopia. Artisan shops, fish markets, charter fishing, beach walking and beautiful sunsets > > > ) ) Morgan Falls is about 20 miles south of Ashland, Wisconsin. It's a pretty little falls that empties into a pool that begins Morgan Creek. > > > A much more enthusaistic hike can be had by taking the side trail to St. Peters Dome. It looks north towards the Bayfield Peninsula. On a clear day you can see Lake Superior. )
Copper Falls. Just north and east of Morgan Falls near Mellen, Wisconsin is Copper Falls State Park, which has two waterfalls and some decent hiking trails. (Pets are not allowed on the main falls trail, but are OK on one of the other trails.) See more information here.

Potato Falls . . .About 15 miles east of Ashland near the town of Gurney, there are two sets of falls on the Potato River, the last one dropping about 90 feet. The fall waterflow was down so I am looking forward to catching this one again in the spring. ) ) Superior Falls . . . is on the Montreal River that forms the border between Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It's a short paddle from Lake Superior and is listed as a 90 footer. The hiking trail past the power plant is rather unscenic. For the fall of the year, the Montreal still carried alot of water, which explains the power generating station. > > > |
) Saxon Falls . . . is upstream a few miles from Superior Falls and on the Montreal River and another 90 footer. It is also near a power plant,
but there is no hiking trail to the falls. I had to play mountain goat working my way down the canyon walls to get this shot. > > >
