The Amnicon River is a waterfall lover’s dream. It is filled with waterfalls and rapids at every turn. Covered bridges are gems in themselves, and the one between the upper and lower falls is a great place for a photograph. Amnicon Falls State Park features a series of delightful waterfalls and rapids along the Amnicon River. You can view them from a covered foot bridge or 2 miles of trails along the river. The park is a place to picnic, camp, walk in the woods and learn about the Douglas Fault, the geological formation that created the falls. Amnicon Falls State Park is located at 4279 County Rd U, in South Range, Wisconsin. For more information, click here.

Ancient lava flows, deep gorges and spectacular waterfalls make Copper Falls State Park one of Wisconsin’s most scenic parks. If you are in the park, you have to see the stunning gorge on Bad River. Copper Falls State Park is located at 36664 Copper Falls Rd, in Mellen. For more information, click here.

Manitou Falls

The tallest waterfall in Wisconsin is an impressive 165 feet high. Manitou Falls are on the Black River, just a dozen miles from Lake Superior; you can see them from two positions at the head of the gorge. Like many of the falls in Wisconsin, they are at their best in spring. They are as high as Niagara and, although slim, they are spectacular. While you are there, head upstream a short distance; a 30-foot waterfall, Little Manitou, makes for another great photograph; at times, there are two plumes of water. Big Manitou Falls is located at 6294 S State Road 35 Superior. For more information, click here.

Lost Creek Falls

If you love waterfalls and want a place that is likely to be fairly quiet, then Lost Creek on Bayfield Peninsula may well be the place for you. The falls are just 15 feet high and follow a series of cascades. They are found in a lovely gorge with the water falling off a mossy ledge. You are able to wade across the creek and stand behind the falls themselves. The trail that you take to reach the waterfall is a pleasant 2.2 miles long, although the falls come near the beginning.  Lost Creek Falls is located at Trail Drive Cornucopia.

In terms of viewing, there are platforms above and below the falls and a bridge across the Willow River. The impressive gorge is a fine sight, although it is a steep walk down to that gorge.
