- There is no trail; head straight from the end of the
landing zone down to the river. "There is no marked
trail, so we suggest that you mark a trail (we leave red
tags and remove them on the way out) on the difficult
quarter-mile walk down to the falls" (Michigan
Waterfalls, Penrose).
- Other Information
- "On a quiet day you can hear the waterfall from the
top of the hill."
