The storms in the state have been bringing down lots of rain so some of the streams and rivers are running full again and that always makes the waterfalls roar to life like this twisty Snake Pit Falls.

As the school year ends for many children, more summertime vacations begins. Some of those vacations may be to parks to explore scenic views and natural formations including waterfalls. Located in the Copper Falls State Park in Wisconsin, the Brownstone Falls drops 30 feet in the reddish brown color gorge.

Today the creeks and ditches were filling with water from the melting snow since the temperatures reached the mid fifties. I spotted a kingfisher sitting on the wire above the running water and on a bridge, a young boy was watching the overflowing creek as water draws critters and kids.

Although there was a lack of sunshine today, the temperature reached 40 degrees causing some of the snow to melt off the roof. The sound of the dripping water sounded like a waterfall but I rather visit a real waterfall on warmer day without snow on the ground.

The last couple of sunny days haven’t been warm enough to melt a lot of snow yet but there was some water dripping from the roof like a tiny waterfall. This waterfall doesn’t have a lot of flow in the fall and sounded a lot like the snow falling off my eaves.

The snow continued to melt today, causing water to drip off the roof but there is plenty of snow left to melt so it will be like a waterfall for several more days.

During many three day holiday weekends, people might head to parks for an outdoor adventure but that number decreases in the Wisconsin wintertime, especially with below zero temperatures. It would be nice to hike to visit a waterfall but I think I will wait until warmer days when the water is actually flowing instead of a frozen fall.

Sitting near a river and listening to the water falling can be very relaxing but hearing a forecast with temperatures falling to sub-zero weather is not a pleasant feeling. The cold makes you wish for summer time again.

The above temperature this December Saturday may have been a good time to get one last hike in to visit waterfalls before the colder temperatures and the snow piles up. Even tiny waterfalls are a nice place to sit and listen to the falling water.

The nice brief rise in temperature today would have made a nice day to take a hike to visit a waterfall, at least it would have been before the afternoon rains came. The lower falls of Gooseberry Falls can have very light water flow in late fall compared to spring melt time.
