Wisconsin is home to a myriad of lakes, rivers, and beautiful waterfalls, some of which have enormous cascading drops and tumbling slides, while others are a just a series of smaller rapids and rises. I chose some because of their fascinating history and others because they break records. Some of the waterfalls actually form the border between Wisconsin and Michigan.
