One of the United States most breathtaking waterfalls, the Tahquamenon Falls of the Upper Peninsula, will amaze you, your friends and family!
Experience this fantastic wonder of the world that is set within a pristine wilderness. The Tahquamenon Falls is over 200' wide and 48' high. Spring visitors will be amazed by the 50,000 gallons of water per second that cascades over the waterfalls! |
The Tahquamenon River was made famous in the Longfellow poem Hiawatha.
According to Indian lore, the origin of the name Tahquamenon is attributed to the water's amber color, which is the result of leaching of tanic acid from the cedar and hemlock swamps that feed the river. A magnificent walk path will direct your way through the forest within the Tahquamenon Falls State Park. These Upper Falls are the second largest water falls east of the Mississippi. Also visit the equally beautiful Lower Tahquamenon Falls. |
