You can walk to these falls from a nearby parking lot. They are beautiful and you can go right into them at one point. Hiking along the edge of the three main waterfalls was exciting. It is steep, so be prepared if you want to hike all the way along the falls. Allow about a half hour to go along... More

We went in late September. Fall was in bloom, the waters were low, and the rocks were beautiful. It felt like a dream. Highly recommended if you have not gone before, even if it is a more of a touristy area. It is for a reason! More

This is a very unique river with lots of things you want to capture with your camera. If you decide to stay, you can expect very large campsites in this nice and quiet place. More

I camp here every year. It is the best place in the world. They used to have showers and bathrooms not anymore. They took them away due to state budget cuts.

On the Presque Isle River, you'll find three amazingly beautiful waterfalls. They are Manabezho Falls, Manido Falls, and Nawadaha Falls. Manabezho Falls is the tallest of the three and is one of my favorite waterfalls in the Upper Peninsula. Manido Falls is more of a cascading waterfall, and is also easily accessible. The third waterfall, Nawadaha Falls, is further upstream,... More
