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.

Falls Under Covered 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.

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.
