Waterfall Hikes Near Herbster, WI
within 50 miles
The catch with Herbster's waterfall list is Lake Superior itself. Several of the fourteen falls inside fifty miles, Gooseberry Falls and Illgen Falls among them, stand across the water on Minnesota's North Shore, which means a long drive around through Duluth. Closer to home, Amnicon Falls near Superior runs a 1.8-mile loop, and Morgan Falls in the Chequamegon is a 1.2-mile out and back. Illgen drops 40 feet a couple tenths of a mile from the road. Dogs are allowed at nearly everything listed.
