Tahquamenon Falls State Park - Lantern-lit Snowshoe Trail

Every Saturday in February, experience the magic of the Upper Falls under the glow of over 70 kerosene lanterns. This self-guided, one-mile loop offers a peaceful winter escape for snowshoers and skiers alike.

• Meet at the trailhead at the end of the Upper Falls parking area.
• Between laps, join us by the bonfire to enjoy warm refreshments and good company.
• Snowshoes or skis are required to keep the trail in top condition for everyone. If you don't have your own, we offer a variety of sizes (including children's) on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Please bring a headlamp or flashlight for extra visibility. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are happy to join the fun!

Event only cancelled in extreme weather (windchill -10 or below). Check the park Facebook page for updates:
