About Evergreen Falls
Evergreen Falls is a tucked-away cascade framed by dense northern hardwoods on the Menominee Reservation. The falls are at their most photogenic in spring and early summer when snowmelt and seasonal rains swell the flow, turning the surrounding alder and fern carpet a vivid green. The setting feels intimate and wild — a rewarding short escape for hikers and photographers who appreciate quiet woodland waterfalls. The falls sit on tribal land (land owner: DESG) within the Menominee Reservation and are managed as tribal lands (designation: TRIB; manager: TRIB). Visitors should be mindful that this is reservation land and treat the area respectfully. If you’re planning an overnight stay, Boulder Lake campground is the nearest developed option, roughly 9.27 km away.
The Setting
Evergreen Falls sits at 1,010 feet within Menominee Reservation, in the foothills of Wisconsin.
Trail & Hike Details
Trail Description
The route follows a forested tread through mixed hardwoods with mostly gentle grades punctuated by a few short, steeper pitches — expect a moderately sustained climb in places rather than a completely flat walk. Trail managers list the route as moderate difficulty and out-and-back; no USFS trail name or number is provided and specific surface/grade/class details are not specified by the managing agency.
What to Expect
Visitors can expect a serene natural setting with a small but charming waterfall surrounded by trees. The area is peaceful and ideal for a short hike or a picnic.
Accessibility
The trail is not wheelchair accessible. Uneven terrain and elevation changes require steady footing.

How we calculate this
This is a transparent outlook, not a precise forecast. We take the waterfall's current flow strength (how it ranks against its historical normal for today, from the nearest USGS stream gauge), carry that ranking forward along the gauge's seasonal curve, and nudge it for forecast rain. Confidence is highest for the next day or two and falls further out. Always check official conditions and your own judgment before visiting — high flows can be dangerous.

Winter safety. Frozen falls are the one waterfall trip with a documented injury pattern: falling ice, and ice-glazed rock and trail. Wear microspikes, keep well back from the base and from overhangs, and never walk out on ice over moving water.
Estimate from Open-Meteo daily temperatures at the falls, the LiDAR-measured facing direction, and the nearest stream gauge. It is a likelihood, not a report from the trail. See every frozen waterfall in Wisconsin.

The Terrain, Seen by LiDAR
Aircraft-mounted lasers measured this ground to within inches. Trees and buildings are digitally stripped away, leaving the bare shape of the land the water has carved.
Here the descent is spread out: 1-meter lidar measures about 31 feet of drop through Evergreen Falls, stretched along the creek rather than stacked in one wall. The brink sits at about 1,016 feet above sea level.
Both above and below, the ground is gentle; the falls are the one abrupt step in an otherwise easy-going creek. The falls face east and catch soft morning light.
