TAHQUAMENON FALLS

TAHQUAMENON FALLS

Tahquamenon Falls is located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

The Tahquamenon State Park gives you both the Upper Falls and the Lower Falls.

The Upper Falls are 50 feet deep and 200 feet wide. And it’s one of the largest falls east of the Mississippi River.

There is a trail that takes you from the upper falls to the lower falls. This is about a 4 and a half mile hike. It seems longer than that because the trail is all up and down.

The falls are a really beautiful sight to see.

The other closest water falls are the (CRYSTAL FALLS) which is a 90 minute drive away. This is also another falls which is close to Tahquamenon Falls and this is called the (SABLE FALLS) which is a 2 hour drive away.

The brownish color in the Upper Falls is like a tea color, that means there is a lot of tanic acid in the falls. There is a nickname for these falls they call it (THE ROOT BEAR FALLS).

During the Spring months the water drains and it runs off at 50,000 gallons of water per second.

The falls are located between Newberry, Michigan and Paradise, Michigan.

When I had taken a trip with my children and when I was a child there wasn’t any charge to se these falls. Now there is a $6.000 charge to see them now. And you can see both of the falls for this price.

Also during the summer months you may see people swimming in the waters of the lower falls.

This is also a shuttle that takes you around the sights and that costs you $9.000 per person.

There is a tree there that is a pine tree that the pine cones are growing upward instead of down and that is really kind of cool.
