UP Waterfalls

[hens]

I have friends coming to the UP from Germany and they are looking to do some hiking and waterfall searching. How well is the water running these days?? They'll be there sometime in the week of April 5th, probably late in the week. I know they are staying at a B&B in the Keewanaw (the place escapes me at the moment.)

Thanks!

they are running like crazy right now should see some beautiful stuff. This is won we went by the other day...we live by Bond Falls and its spectacular right now. Kakabika Falls is one of our favorite its down here by watersmeet...but its a great hike in

 

[hens]

Do you expect them to continue through the next few weeks??

mrsrunningbear where is Kakabika Falls located, how long of a hike to get back in?

 

[frnash]

… where is Kakabika Falls … ?

On the West Branch of the Ontonagon River, about 15 miles west of Watersmeet on US-2 then 2.8 miles northeast of US-2 on CR527.

Alternate route, 15.25 miles west of Paulding on Sleepy Hollow Road / Two-mile Road / CR527. (Unsure of road conditions.)

Lat: N46° 20.2326', Lon:W89° 27.1214'

frnash thank you, do you know if there is a parking area and a route back into the falls?

 

[Professor PC]

well HENS. for one thing in GERMANY only the ONASIS's ever get to FIRE A GUN, so do that. they will think your ROYALTY by bustin off some rounds out the back door. let them too they will be shocked. and NOONE and i mean NOONE can JETSKI, so go find a lake that you can do that on, they wont believe it. and SNOWMOBILING IS EVEN RARER.....go do that on a fireroad with a little snow left. forget hicking and all that jazzzzz, they do that in the alps and it wont faz them a bit, they might even be dissapointed dude

frnash thank you, do you know if there is a parking area and a route back into the falls?

radsrh...There is a pull off area, wouldn't really call it a parking area but it's off the road and theres a little sign. There is a path and it is easy to find...just keep walkin it goes way back and every turn it gets better. Sleepy Hollow is fun in a 4-wheel drive. But the best way to go this time of year is US 2 west as frnash says

 

[radsrh]

Thank you for the reply, will have to go check them out.

If you click on my name and go to my public profile I have some decent water fall photographs in my Album titled:Various UP Pictures. I had a long day and I'm just too tired to figure out how to post pics in here again.

We just went up this past weekend and we visited Canyon Falls and those were pretty sweet. You can walk past the end of the trail and actually climb down right down by the water

bears, maybe this road would be good to take a 4x4 down to get to the falls, should be passable in a ford fiesta by than
