Review:
Big Manitou Falls are situated in the Pattison State Park, south of Superior Wisconsin, and are fed by the Black River, a tributary of the Nemadji River. The 165-foot falls have a crest of 10 feet and are the highest waterfall in Wisconsin. The waterfalls are shrouded in legend. and the Native American tribes who settled near the falls believed they heard the voice of the Great Spirit coming from the falls and named it Gitchee Manitou. Big Manitou Falls became the center of Pattison State Park, which was built around the falls in 1920, and received further protection in 2003 when it was named as part of the Wisconsin State Natural Areas Program.
