The Horton Covered Bridge spans 55 feet across the Amnicon River just at the start of the fifteen foot drop of the Lower Amnicon Falls.

Although a cooler day than normal, it was a good day for a Sunday scroll though the parks to catch the autumn colors before they disappear for the year. And visiting a waterfall is always a plus too, like the Amnicon Lower Falls beneath the Horton Cover Bridge.

There was dry area under the Horton Covered Bridge so that you walk underneath it when normally the channel is filled with rushing water of the Amnicon River.

When I sneak up to Lake Superior, sometimes I stop at Amnicon Falls on my way. I have visited the falls in November but never when there is snow and ice on the ground. I probably wouldn’t wander as close to the cliff edge if icy like I did to take this photo of the lower falls and the Horton covered bridge.

It is amazing when 20 degrees feels warm, but considering that 20 above zero is 40 degrees warmer than the minus 20 yesterday morning, it is a bit of a heat wave. But still not above freezing to melt any snow so the scene at the Amnicon Lower Falls would have white from snow on the rocks instead of just the white from the water foam.

Although the day was cooler than it has been, the closer to normal temperatures still allowed some great hiking weather to explore the parks including this waterfall on the Amnicon River with the covered bridge.

With the start of the holiday weekend and being a hot summer day, water was drawing in people in for different activities. The mist from the waterfall would feel good (but does get the camera lens wet).

The first sunny day after a stretch of rain may have some late season vacationers visiting some scenic areas and some waterfalls may have more flow than the autumn average.

Although the trees are still bare, but with signs of new leaves budding out, it is a nice spring day to enjoy a walk through the woods or near a river as the birds are singing a happy tune today. The hike could include walk across a covered bridge like the one found in Amnicon Falls State Park.
