Piers Gorge is the reason to know Norway. The Menominee River squeezes through rock just south of town, and the two-mile walk along the gorge passes churning water most of the way, with dogs allowed. Fumee Falls practically sits next door, a tenth of a mile off US-2. Power Dam Falls and Hydraulic Dam Falls each take about a half mile. From this small town on the Wisconsin line, forty-six falls come up within fifty miles, so a weekend here fills itself.

Located at 45.7997°N, -87.9140°W
