With endless rivers and streams, it’s no wonder there are hundreds of enchanting waterfalls here waiting to be discovered.

In the east, marvel at the thundering power of Tahquamenon Falls—one of the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi. Some of Michigan’s most iconic waterfalls can also be found along Lake Superior’s colorful sandstone cliffs at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. 
Further west, Bond Falls and the Keweenaw Peninsula's Hungarian Falls—among many others—are must-visit, scenic stops during your road trip. When traveling the Lower Peninsula, Ocqueoc Falls is universally accessible and perfect for all to enjoy Michigan's outdoors.
