Hike to Morgan Falls
It's a easy hike to the waterfall being only 1.2 mile round trip, but traveling to the waterfall might take time as it's fairly remote. There is a $5 daily park fee.Directions can be complicated depending on which direction you are coming from, so I highly recommend entering it into your google maps and taking a screen shot of the directions as you will most likely lose cell phone service.If yo...
Amnicon Falls & Snake Pit Falls
Amnicon Falls State Park, as its name suggests, has a waterfall as its central feature. Amnicon is a small and developed park and the biggest attraction is the covered bridge connecting the main park to a small river island.
Do the main loop trail beginning at the covered bridge. You'll be rewarded with great views of the cascades and craggy banks as well as open pine and cedar forests and uni...
Hike the Gandy Dancer Trail
While visiting the charming Northwoods town of Siren, I detoured for a hike on the Gandy Dancer Trail segment. This trail was constructed to connect townships using old railroad beds. Even the name honors the rhythmic, synchronized efforts of the workers in their rail nailing dance. In total the trail stretches from St. Croix Falls northward 98 miles, nearly to Superior, crossing into Min...
Red Granite Falls
Starting at the parking lot for Loon Lake, follow the signs for Red Granite Falls across a grassed yard and into the woods. The trail is a wide, well-maintained gravel trail that creates a figure-eight loop as it crosses itself twice.
Halfway along the trail (regardless of which loop direction you take) you end up along the Bad River, and can hear the roar of Red Granite Falls. Several small t...
Big and Little Manitou Falls
Pattison State Park is a Northwoods paradise. Home to Big and Little Manitou Falls, water is a main attraction here. Big Manitou Falls is across the highway from the main park (accessible by a tunnel) and is the fourth tallest waterfall east of the rocky mountains. This is a great place to start your day - a quick walk and big return on your investment. The 165 ft drop flows into a foggy canyon...
Copper Falls
Coming into the park on Hwy 169, you will turn west/northwest into the park entrance. After passing the Ranger's Station you will follow the road (passing camp areas and showers along the way) all the way to the main parking lot near a concessions building. *The handicap parking lot is a little further past the main parking lot.
The trailhead starts at a bridge just past the concessions buildi...
