The falling white from a waterfall during the summertime looks and feels warmer than the white winter landscape that is outside my window now. Little Manitou Falls is located in Wisconsin’s Pattison State Park with about a thirty-one foot drop over a basalt-rock ledge.
Water Falling in Summer
More snow is falling from the sky tonight and earlier snow was falling off my roof as I tried to rake some of the deep snow off. If the weather ever warms up, there will be a lot of water running. But right now when I am inside my house, it looks like I am at the bottom of the waterfall as the snow is piled too high to see out of my windows.

On a hot summer day, feeling the cold mist from this waterfall would feel good. And it was giving off mist as I wasn’t able to keep my camera lens free from water spots when I tried to take photos at a different viewing location even though it only falls 30 feet instead of the next drop of 165 farther downstream.
Viewing Little Manitou Falls
By the time I finished clearing the snow which fell overnight, the sun peeked out for a few minutes before it turned dark as it started to snow heavily again. It wasn’t what I wanted to see and I would prefer seeing falling water in a different format on a warmer day.
Water Falling
Upstream from the tallest waterfall in Wisconsin, a smaller or little 30 foot waterfall can be found. But the waters of the Black River puts on a show at the scenic Little Manitou Falls before flowing into the Interfalls Lake and falling 165 feet downstream.
