A summer Sunday afternoon is a great time for a hike through the woods to visit a waterfall, like Morgan Falls, a tall, narrow falls with a 70 foot drop (which the top not showing in the photo).

Visiting Morgan Falls

While many people may have been in stores today exchanging gifts, I make a point to avoid stores during crowded days and I prefer a nature walk so it is too bad that the weather wasn’t warmer for a hike to less traveled waterfall, like this narrow one that twists and drops seventy feet.

End of the Drop

Some people are more adventurous than I am and will hike the frozen trail back (after the snowy forest roads) to see this waterfall in the winter when it creates a pretty ice formation. I prefer the 1.2 mile hike in the summer when it is warmer than subzero temperatures to see the seventy foot falls, including this last bend for the final drop.

Final Drop of Morgan Falls

A small stream of water drops down a fracture in the granite wall 80 to 100 feet, making it the second highest waterfall in Wisconsin, before settling into small shaded pool of water running into Morgan Creek. Definitely not the widest waterfall or having a great volume of water, but Morgan Falls has it own unique charm as it twists and splashes against the granite wall. The very top of the falls isn’t in the picture and I didn’t wade across the creek to look for a different angle.
