Au Train Falls

Au Train, Alger County

Au Train Falls is a wide cascading waterfall on the Au Train River in Alger County, fed by a hydroelectric dam that affects both its flow and its public access. Check current signs and conditions before visiting — parts of the traditional route may cross private property.

Historically easy along a level road when open; current legal access should be checked before you go

Houghton Douglass Falls dropping through a narrow, forested rock gorge on Hammell Creek in the Keweenaw PeninsulaWaterfalls

Houghton Douglass Falls

Lake Linden, Houghton County

Houghton Douglass Falls drops about 110 feet into a wooded gorge on Hammell Creek in the Keweenaw Peninsula, making it the tallest waterfall in Michigan. A new trail and bridge reach the rim easily, but the area beyond the bridge remains undeveloped and unprotected.

Easy on the accessible path to the pedestrian bridge; the unmaintained route beyond the bridge is rugged and steep
