Attractions: Waterfalls

No visit to the Keweenaw Peninsula would be complete without taking some time to visit one or more of our waterfalls. Many are located on the roadsides, or within easy walking distance on well-traveled paths. The water flow is the greatest in the spring when melting snow invigorates the streams & rivers. During the rest of the summer and fall, some will have substantially reduced flows, but many will still be active and exciting. Please respect any private property on or near any of these falls. Does anyone have GPS numbers for the Keweenaw's waterfalls that they would like to share?
