Hike to 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 tr...
Hike to 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 buildin...

Climb down the stairs (about 130) to the river and observation deck. You can v...

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...
Hike to Saxon Falls
An unusual hike to see the falls, Saxon Falls sits next to a flowage station. On foot, follow the short, wooded hiking trail to the east of the parking area, which leads to the overlook location. For better viewing, continue down the path. The falls sports one of the deepest gorges in the region. Saxon Falls is surrounded by many waterfalls in the region, so make sure to plan another stop while...
