Tahquamenon Falls State Park, Paradise, Michigan, USA

The incredible scenic attractions of Tahquamenon Falls State Park are some of the most popular. It’s easy to understand why. In the heart of the second largest Michigan state park, the 90 mile long Tahquamenon River rushes over a 50 foot drop at the magnificent Upper Tahquamenon Falls.

Four miles downstream, a series of five smaller drops make up the majestic Lower Tahquamenon Falls, carrying the river farther downstream before emptying into Lake Superior at the rivermouth. The sights and sounds of the Tahquamenon River, its historic and breathtaking Michigan waterfalls, the tranquility of the wilderness, and the many park trails affording numerous recreational opportunities all contribute to our guests’ enjoyment of their time in Tahquamenon Falls State Park. We think they will be a memorable part of your experience too!

The Tahquamenon Falls are two different waterfalls on the Tahquamenon River. Both sets are located near Lake Superior in the eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The water is notably brown in color from the tannins leached from the cedar swamps which the river drains. The upper falls are more than 200 feet (60 m) across and with a drop of approximately 48 feet (14 m) During the late spring runoff, the river drains as much as 50,000 US gallons (190,000 L) of water per second, making the upper falls the third most voluminous vertical waterfall east of the Mississippi River, after Niagara Falls and Cohoes Falls, both in New York State.
