Tahquamenon Falls

The Tahquamenon Falls are a group of waterfalls on the Tahquamenon River in the northeastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan, just before it flows into Lake Superior. They are one of the biggest waterfalls in the eastern portion of North America and the biggest in Michigan. The name "Root Beer Falls" comes from the tannins that are absorbed into the water from the cedar swamps that the river empties. Between the villages of Newberry and Paradise, in Tahquamenon Falls State Park, lie the falls, which are a well-liked tourist destination year-round.

Tahquamenon Falls, one of Michigan's great gems, has mesmerized tourists for decades. Tahquamenon is a must-see destination, whether you come to enjoy the autumnal foliage, the raging spring runoff, or the winter wonderland in January. The falls are one of the most visited places in the Eastern Upper Peninsula because they offer unrivaled vistas and noises. The springtime deafening boom of the rushing water is well-known for being audible from the parking lot. You can bring a picnic lunch and spend the day at the state park near the falls because there are excellent prospects for wildlife observation there.
