Take the time to visit these falls, you will not be disappointed. These is a well marked trail to the main falls and then a couple of paths further downstream where you can continue your journey along the river with additional falls and canyons.

Very nice roadside park and rest stop. Nice trail that takes you to view some beautiful waterfalls. A must to see. It's free and trails easy walking.

1/2 mile or so walk to the beginning of the falls. The Sturgeon River cuts through a canyon, resulting in an amazing place that feels like it belongs far away from Michigan. The falls continue as you go. Follow blue blazes painted on trees for North Country Trail to continue past the first large falls viewing area. There are a few areas that are accessible for swimming and jumping. The first larger falls is shallow. You can swim here but the falls is very strong so be careful. Brave souls can sit behind the falls. Farther down there are two areas where you can jump off of cliffs. The first is lower and relatively easy to exit the water. The second is a bit farther down and is higher. This point is more difficult to exit. You must either climb up a rope up the cliff wall or swim/drift downstream to an easier exit point (but be VERY careful because the current can be strong and the second exit point can be easily missed). Somebody attempted the trail in a wheelchair and was having a heck of a time. I would not call this trail accessible.

Great spot to make a trip out to.
You can follow the North Country Trail for quite a while beyond just the overlook.
I imagine it’s a great spot to cool off in the summer!!response / report this review -

Very nice park in the UP.Walk to the falls is not overly long but somewhat challenging as a lot of the boardwalk is old and could use repair. There are many great views but when you reach the canyon falls it is spectacular to say the least. No one should miss this stop on their trip in the UP.

Beautiful natural wonder! Make sure you go all the way to the end of the path (you'll see a "Trail Ends" sign). If you go in the early morning, you can get some beautiful shots of the sun poking through the trees.

Really was a lot of fun. Took our 1 year old and 3 year old. The 3 year old definitely enjoyed it. Not just a walk in the park, but not a rugged hike by any means.

The falls are beautiful. Just a short hike to get to them.

Gorgeous scenery, nice hike, long enough to stretch your legs after a car ride without being too strenuous.

Best kept hiking secret near Marquette. Very beautiful. Some people say there are crowds, I didn't see any. But I went on a weekday.

Very cool with about a 15 minute walk through a forest.
