Tahquamenon Falls State Park

What a gorgeous waterfalls! While you can get some pretty good views from the main trail, you are required to hike down a flight of 90 steps to get to right to the brink of the falls. Well worth it though! We visited on a Saturday afternoon and there were quite a few people there, but not so many that we couldn’t enjoy our visit. Nice parking area with well-maintained and modern restrooms

Nicest park in the area, they do a good job with the trails and making everything very easy and accessible.
Nice store with lots to look through, and bunch of food stalls when we were there.
Water was pretty brown/yellow but that seems to be standard for the inland area here.

Beautiful place to visit! We visited the lower falls and we're very pleased with the views. The lower falls does have a boardwalk and is handicap accessible. At least up to the bridge, I didn't go past that. There are also very nice public restrooms available as well. I highly recommend visiting this and having lots of time to enjoy it. Also bring your camera!

Beautiful waterfall with the fall foliage just started. The next few weeks would be perfect timing to visit for awesome pictures. The usual Michigan State Park fee applies or free if you have the state pass. Clean bathroom at the lower fall area. Water station for refill. There is a paid service shuttle running between lower and upper falls if you want to take the 4 miles trail. 20ish per group. The lower and upper trails are easy access with many toddlers and elderly on them.

There are two separate falls areas to see, so there are two parking lots or you can hike a one way trail that a shuttle service can take you back for a fee. Both falls are beautiful. Don't skip either one, they are equally impressive with the different angles to view them. All paved walking paths to viewing areas. Some steps at lower falls. There is a place to get food at the lower falls. There are gift shops at both falls. The roads leading to the falls are very nice. One of the upper peninsula's best waterfalls to experience. I would also recommend Bond falls and the several falls around the pictured rocks area (Munising, MI).

The beauty of the Upper and Lower Falls is magnificent. The steady roaring of the water rushing over the falls is comforting and sooths your spirit. Park Rangers and staff are helpful and friendly. The many bridges and boardwalks provide spectacular views of this amazing place. There are trails that loop around for a short picturesque tour and a moderately challenging hiking trail allows you to travel between the two Falls. The beauty along the way will keep you smiling while taking in the sights. Parking is convenient and restrooms are clean and in close proximity to the action. There are gifts shops at both locations and a restaurant brewery at the Upper Falls.

Spectacular views!!! Wow what a sight to see. Nice walk through the woods, all paved pathways unless you want to do some hiking, which we did not. There's two sets of steps down, one with 90ish steps and the other with almost 200 steps. Multiple viewing points. This would be gorgeous to see during the autumn color changes.

After 4 straight days of rain and cloudy weather, we were finally blessed with clear blue skies on the day we planned to visit the falls!

Wonderful walk with wonderful fall views!

Very rich and relaxing!

GORGEOUS!! Hiked from upper to lower falls. Trail was full of amazing views, very clear with markers every 0.5miles, well maintained and has lots of stairs and bridges. Really like that you can get in the water at the lower falls, it’s a cherry on top of the experience. The new store at the lower falls was very nice and clean. Enjoyed the shop/pub/gathering space at the upper falls.

I wasn't sure if this would be worth the hike, but it absolutely was. The trail around the lower falls was super easy, and we were able to get into the falls at several points. There were a ton of people, swimming and hiking around, so be prepared for the crowds. The water was very cool, but it was refreshing. The upper falls were a bit harder to access because there's a long staircase down to them, but they were lovely as well. I'm glad we went; it was a highlight of our trip.

Tahquamenon Falls (both upper and lower) are great places to visit! The hike to both falls is easy to accomplish with small children.

At the upper falls, there is a lower and upper viewing deck. Both have a collection of steps, however, the lower deck has substantially more steps than the upper viewing deck. It is absolutely possible to visit both but if you are concerned about steps, stick with the upper viewing deck.

At the lower falls, they have a nice walking path that leads you around the falls and to the island. You can also get to the island by rowing boat (but I believe there is an extra cost to rent these). The island is a nice loop trail with an area that allows for some "swimming." The water is very shallow but bring an extra outfit or a swimsuit for your kids because they will love it and end up soaked.

There is a trail that connects to upper and lower falls but I do not recommend walking this with young children.

Great place! Me and my family have been here 2 years on a row, and just this summer, they added a gift shop. Great view, nice people, and the water on the lower falls feels so good!

We went to both the Upper and Lower Falls. The Upper has one big falls and has a set of 94 stairs to allow you to get a better view plus there's with another set of around 180 stairs (that was alittle bit too many stairs for someone with a bad knee).

The Lower Falls had smaller falls and several of them. There was a nice boardwalk, overlooks, and a bridge to an island (nice trail around the island).

Very nice place with beautiful falls. Live music and popcorn, ice cream, for snacks. Clothing wasn't too expensive like other gift shops. The walk to the upper falls was easy and only 94 steps down to the falls.

Great hiking to gorgeous falls. Be prepared to climb steps. The 168 steps aren't really so bad because there are 20 foot flat areas between sections of stairs, and good overlooks along them. Lots of people playing in the water, which can make it challenging to get clear nature photos.

Amazing , make sure you allow yourself at least 4 hours to wander around. Make sure you bring a bathing suit because you are allowed to wade around in the lower falls. I will be back for sure. The sights are breathtaking and worth the hike. Bring your dog, too. I loved seeing all the dogs as we hiked and explored

The falls and surrounding area are spectacular! The park was clean and patrolled. Campsites were medium to large. I especially enjoyed the rustic area because there was a buffer of trees between each campsite. There are very nice hiking trails, good fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and boating.

Beautiful falls and hikes! Great campgrounds. The boardwalks, stairs, and trail systems are extensive and very well-maintained. Nice swimming area at the lower falls. Be aware there are lots of steps to get to the best viewpoints for the upper falls, but there are plenty of decent views you can see even if you just stay on the boardwalks and paved paths. The hikes are so smooth you could bring a stroller or wheelchair without an issue.

Beautiful place to spend a few hours hiking and seeing the falls. Upper Falls is quite impressive with 48 foot high wall of water sending thousands of gallons over every minute. You can see the Upper Falls with a short hike but the best view requires walking down 100 stairs or so (brink view) and then of course you have to walk back up. Lower Falls you can get a nice view just a couple hundred feet from the parking lot, but going to the bridge and close to the lower falls requires a hike of 1.5 miles round trip.

Always worth seeing and i love the quiet and gorgeous hikes around here. There are several hiking trails that are nice as well as a hike to the lower falls and transportation back to the upper falls if you didn't want to hike it back. The gift shop and clean facilities have really helped make this beautiful location family friendly and easier for anyone to access and enjoy the beauty.
