Picture of the Day for August 7, 2015

As the Montreal River, which forms the border for parts of Upper Michigan and Wisconsin, drops in elevation on its way to Lake Superior, it cascades over several waterfalls. This 20 foot waterfall is called Interstate Falls, with Peterson Falls slightly upstream, and with Saxon and Superior Falls downstream.

The Wisconsin side of the falls is currently up for sale, and although it has been private land, public public access has been allowed along the foot trail to the falls and river. But this could change and there is no public access on the Michigan side to see the falls so I’m glad I saw it when I did even if wasn’t in the best lighting conditions at the time but the sunlight did catch the mist rising from the falls and sparkles on the water closer to shore.

  1. Yes – my aunties were at this waterfall but only at the top of the falls as they didn’t hike to the bottom!
