Lost Creek Falls

When considering waterfalls, the Bayfield Peninsula may not be the first spot that springs to mind, but it is really home to numerous magnificent waterfalls, including Lost Creek Falls. Lost Creek Falls which is located in Wisconsin near Cornucopia, is a secret waterfall. This picturesque waterfall, whose name sounds like the movie title, deserves to be named one of the Most Beautiful Falls in Wisconsin. Water flows from the 8-foot-high waterfall into a lake below until it reaches a cascaded bed of rock.

Nestled in a small community at the northern end of the Cornucopia peninsula, Lost Creek Falls is quite remote to reach. But fortunately, there is a short, easy trail that leads directly to this majestic wonder. The road is 1.5 miles each way, making for a 3-mile round trip. They meandered through a wooded area and crossed two bridges. At the end of the trail, visitors will encounter a footpath leading directly down to Lost Creek Falls.

Lost Creek Falls is geologically identical to its close relative, Virgin Falls where the creek emerges from a sizable stream or cave that collapses at the top, descends down the falls at a 40-degree angle, and then vanishes. At 8 feet high, the waterfall may not be large but promises to be extremely beautiful. A large area at the foot of the falls allows visitors easy access and close-up views of the falls.

In short, Lost Creek Falls:

• Nestled in a small community at the northern end of the Cornucopia peninsula in Wisconsin near Cornucopia.
• Flows from the 8-foot-high waterfall into a lake below.
• Visitors can take a short 1.5-mile trail each way to access the falls.
