Oconto sits where the Oconto River meets the bay of Green Bay, and thirty falls land within fifty miles, most of them scattered along the county roads to the north. Daves Falls near Amberg is a half-mile walk. Pemene Falls on the Menominee River asks about the same. Twin Island Rapids stretches a full mile along the water. Every trail with data here rates easy and takes dogs, which makes this good country for stringing several falls into a single day of back-road driving.
