Ocqueoc Falls

The only widely accessible waterfall in the United States, Ocqueoc Falls is the biggest waterfall in Michigan's Lower Peninsula. With three clearly designated loops, Ocquoec offers roughly six miles of hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing activities. The ski trails have been plowed. Please be careful to avoid walking on established ski trails when snowshoeing and fat tire biking. Although there are no groomed fat-tire bike trails, fat-tire bikes are permitted.

Swim in the falls after you've hiked the paths! You can observe at this location where the Ocqueoc River carved a path through the limestone bedrock that forms the region's foundation. The salmon actually travel through these subsurface passageways during the spawning season. Just above the falls, one may find the ruins of an old mill race. The falls also have a State Forest Campground there.

You may combine some exercise with your waterfall gazing because the area surrounding the falls contains more than six miles of designated hiking routes that are also utilized for cross-country skiing in the winter. After a climb in the summer, you can cool yourself by swimming in Ocqueoc Falls. There are grills and picnic tables at the waterfall, and there is camping close by.
