Visiting Dead River Falls

Running 43.2 miles through Marquette County, the Dead River is home to several very impressive waterfalls. The falls known as Dead River Falls are located just outside of Marquette, Michigan.

Three of the falls are over 15 feet in height. All of them are rugged and beautiful.

While the hike is short (less than a mile), the trail is difficult. Steep inclines over tree roots, rocks, and mud challenged us the entire way. There are, however, plenty of resting spots at each drop to take in the view and recover if you need it.

There is one more drop above this one that we didn’t make it to. It was starting to rain and the sky was rumbling.
