Waterfall Hikes Near Escanaba, MI
within 50 miles
The Upper Peninsula spoils Escanaba with thirty one falls inside the radius, most of them short flat walks. Rapid River Falls takes a tenth of a mile of walking. Laughing Whitefish Falls, north toward Lake Superior, slides about 100 feet down a layered rock face at the end of a mile. Haymeadows and Whitefish Falls each run a mile too. Every listed trail here allows dogs, and the snowmelt weeks of April and May turn all of these rivers loud.
