Four falls make the list within fifty miles of Medford. Grandfather Falls carries the real trail, two easy miles out and back along the Wisconsin River to the east, dogs welcome. Hamilton Falls adds a mile round trip and takes dogs as well. Little Falls and Little Bull Falls appear without trail data, so check on them before driving. Medford itself faces the Black River at the southern edge of the Chequamegon National Forest, which makes it easy to fold a waterfall stop into a longer day in the woods.

Located at 45.1365°N, -90.3436°W
