Tahquamenon Falls State Park

1 of 3

Tahquamenon Falls State Park, named for the beautiful waterfalls, is located north of the state on Michigan's pristine Upper Peninsula. The Tahquamenon River meanders through the park and includes the two most outstanding vistas — the Upper and Lower Falls. The former is a magnificent succession of miniature waterfalls that whirl around a picturesque and secluded island. The latter spans over 60 meters in width and plunges 15 meters down a steep overhang.

Tahquamenon Falls State Park encompasses 46,170 acres. Enjoy its natural splendor by trekking through woodland paths, canoeing, fishing, kayaking, camping, seeing animals from a safe distance, skiing, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing during the winter months. Several campsites are located within the state park—camp in the Rivermouth area for a more rustic experience. Choose the Lower Falls portion if you prefer a more contemporary camping experience.
