Local waterfall that is impressive and easy to get to! The hike out to the falls is not long, but is very steep. The falls are located under an old railroad trestle that is now a snowmobile trail in the winter. The falls are not on National Forest System lands, but is almost completely surrounded by the Ottawa National Forest. no fee
