Review & FAQ:

The second largest of Michigan’s state parks, Tahquamenon Falls State Park spans a whopping 46,179 acres. The centerpiece of the park is its namesake waterfall, which is a part of the Tahquamenon River and drains into Whitefish Bay in Lake Superior. The waterfall, which is also called Rootbeer Falls because of its golden-brown color, has a single 50-foot drop which is considered ‘Upper Falls’ and is followed by a series of rapids and cascades which is called ‘Lower Falls’. From the visitor center, there is a paved walking trail which leads directly to the falls, making it easily accessible to everyone.
