Tahquamenon Falls
This is a great destination if you're into grand natural beauty. The upper falls are the second largest east of the Mississippi river after Niagra. Here are a few shots to show you what you can expect.

A shot of a portion of the lower falls from one of the many scenic overlooks. This particular overlook is the first one you come to from the parking lot. |
| I cant quite remember where I stood while snapping this portion of the lower falls. It might have been on the boat landing. |

A new photo to this page taken in late September 2004. A head on look at the lower falls. |
| Another shot from Sept 2004. A closer look at the lower falls |

Several vacation go-ers delight in romping around the lower falls. (Definitely not advised on the upper falls) |
| Another new pic, this time a closeup of a portion of the lower falls. I like the shot because it shows of the rock formations really well. |

Sept 2004 shot of the upper falls, which are about 4 miles upstream from the lower falls. This shot actually replaces a prior photo that was here that was taken with my old 110 camera (like the other old photos on here). My current camera allowed a much tighter shot from this vantage point. |
| Up close look at the upper falls. Signs at the park say that as much as 22,000 gallons per second fall over this precipice. |

With the sun shining just right, I was able to catch this rainbow formed from the waterfall mist. |
