A nice sunny October weekend allows visits to area parks and scenic places, such as Manabezho Falls on the Presque Isle River which has a drop of about 25 feet and about 150 feet across. The name Manabezho refers to an Ojibway spirit god.

Over ninety waterfalls can be found in the Porcupine Mountains and even more in the surrounding area in Upper Michigan. The biggest and tallest waterfalls get most of the attention or ones which are easy to hike to. One of the overlooked falls is appropriately named Overlooked Falls. The small falls consists of two drop of about five feet each drop, so not as impressive as waterfalls in the area dropping forty feet or more, but it a scenic little falls as the water splits around the rocks on the upper drop.

The one bonus after getting wet from sprinkles on a cloudy day, is when the sun peaks out long enough to create a rainbow especially in a beautiful scenic spot.
