Tips

The Upper Falls, measuring 200 feet wide and standing at a height of 50 feet, ranks among the largest waterfalls in the eastern United States. One theory links its name to an Ojibwe word describing the water's amber brown hue, while another theory suggests it stems from the Ojibwe word for dark berry, referencing the foliage surrounding the area. Accessing this remarkable sight requires climbing approximately 100 stairs, but the breathtaking view makes the extra effort worthwhile.
