Thirty-eight falls turn up within fifty miles of Minocqua, the circle reaching well into Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Yondota and Kakabika Falls each take half a mile of trail with a dog trotting along. Grandfather Falls on the Wisconsin River runs 2 miles. Rapid River Falls asks barely a tenth of a mile. Nearly every measured trail on the list rates easy, which suits families already up here for lake season, and the UP drives make a good full day loop.
