Green Bay splits its waterfall driving in two directions. Cato Falls is the close trip, a half-mile walk on the Manitowoc River southeast of town. Everything else pulls you north into Marinette County, which calls itself the waterfall capital of Wisconsin. Daves Falls near Amberg is another easy half mile, and Twin Island Rapids gives you a full mile beside the water. Ten falls land within fifty miles, and every trail we have data for allows dogs.
