If you follow the Middle Branch Ontonagon River north, you’ll come to Agate Falls Scenic Site. As one of the most picturesque waterfalls in the Upper Peninsula, broad bands of interlacing cascades are created by the water falling over terraced sandstone.
One of the frozen waterfalls in Michigan that you must see is at Wagner Falls Scenic Site. The site is about 22 acres, and you can expect a snowy hike on the trail and boardwalk. The water cascades down about 100 feet of rock and is nestled among hemlock and pine trees.
Another impressive waterfall is Miners Falls, which has about a 50-foot drop over an outcrop of sandstone. The trail from the nearby parking lot is a rolling dirt and gravel pathway through woods. There are two overlooks along the way, and you get views of the Miners Basin as well.
Located along the Ocqueoc Falls Bicentennial Pathway is Ocqueoc Falls, the largest waterfall – and only natural waterfall – in the Lower Peninsula. Additionally, it’s the only waterfall in the United States with universal accessibility. Although it’s not a tall waterfall, the area has 6 miles of biking, cross-country skiing, and hiking trails.
Just west of Munising, Au Train Falls is a wide waterfall with cascades over several rock formations and a crest of 200 feet. The upper part of the falls has a 40-foot drop, while the lower part only falls about 10 feet.
