Tahquamenon Falls State Park, located near Paradise, MI, encompasses nearly 50,000 acres and stretches 13-plus miles. It includes multiple campgrounds, overnight lodging, boating access and 35-plus miles of trails, not to mention the overlooks for the Lower and Upper Tahquamenon Falls, the latter being one of the largest in the Eastern United States, at 200 feet wide. To say it’s impressive is an understatement.

Chuck Paulson (a.k.a. Uncle Chuck), his wife Vicki and their four-legged “kid” Whitaker recently did some camping in the U.P. and the Tahquamenon Falls State Park was one of their stays. That’s Vicki and Whit in the first photo and Chuck and Whit in the second photo. Pretty neat that the Lower Falls sign has a message on the back of it, too. Then of course the next two shots are of the Lower Falls, with the last photo of the iconic Upper Falls. Pure U.P. Michigan beauty.

Alexis Dahl has an interesting video to accompany today’s falls photos. Something is Moving Tahquamenon Falls. The lead-in says: “Michigan's biggest waterfall is moving... but why? (Also, it isn't even my favorite waterfall nearby!) Thanks to UP Travel for supporting this video!”

Hi
Good to see (Uncle) Chuck, Vicki & Whit enjoying the
UP.

I have enjoyed the Lower Falls, especially since
there is now a bridge out to the island. The trails
are narrower than those at the Upper Falls, with
little creeks and lush vegetation. I was there on a
cloudy, misty day and it felt very primeval. But I
also love the large, beautiful Upper Falls. I don't
think you'd get as many visitors without it, & having
the brew-pub there doesn't hurt ;>). A nice thing
about both sites is that free wheelchairs are
available to borrow if needed.

Awesome stuff today...HI UC!!! Wonderful to see
you U.P. here!!!

I went to the falls so long ago, way before all
these awesome upgrades!!

LOVE Alexis's videos...she's so good at that!

Great pictures, Chuck. It's such a wonderful place,
just beautiful. Glad you and Vic got to explore
some of the beautiful scenery UP here on your way
back to the city. Thanks for sharing them with us.

A great silent space holds all of nature in its
embrace. It also holds you.

Great photos, love that place!! Haven’t been to
Tahquamenon falls in years, we are planning to fix
that with a visit this fall :) Can’t wait!
Thanks for sharing and enjoy your trip!

That was my third time camping at the Falls, and I
must say, the improvements that they have made to
accommodate EVERYONE are just fantastic. Of
course, the Falls and the overall scenery are
always great, but so are the campgrounds. The
Upper Falls also has a really good restaurant and
brewery and full bar, and the food was excellent!!
Lower Falls still has the gift shop & cafe. What
really stuck out to me are the nice, paved
walkways and they have eliminated a lot of the
stairs.
The highlight for me was, just west of there and
north, was the 19-mile dirt road that takes you to
Lake Superior and to, Crisp Point & Lighthouse.
That jaunt through the woods on a perfect dirt
road for any type of vehicle, car, truck, ATV etc.
was well worth it when you get to the Lighthouse
and look at that beautiful structure and the
beauty of the big lake and surrounding area!! I
could have spent all day out there!! How smooth
was the dirt road you ask... a two-seater Mercedes
Benz flew by me going in when we were coming back
out, all I could do was laugh. Go check it out
Pasty Fam, especially if you haven't been there in
years!!

Thanks Mary, for posting our trip!! :-))

So great to see you Uncle Chuck and Vickie & Whitaker. It's been 50 years since I've been to The Falls. I remember a lot of rock climbing. Nice to see they've opened up access.

I wonder if the restaurant is the same one Alexis Dahl, in her nice video, had the fresh Whitefish.

Crisp Point? Are we to expect the next chapter soon?
