Winter Planning Guide

Keweenaw County, as with many areas of the Upper Peninsula have waterfalls that are hidden treasures. Some are right along the roadways while others take a little more foot power to reach, but are well worth the effort. They are all magnificent, especially during spring runoff when white water is rushing to the lake, or as frozen sculptures in winter.
