The warm weather is coming to the end and soon the waterfalls will be ice formations instead and hiking to them may become a little trickier with the snow and ice.
Will Be Ice Falls Soon

Last Monday I visited Amnicon Falls State Park, which has four waterfalls, including the one called Now and Then. And the dry conditions also existed to the north as it is the first time that I seen the Now and Then Falls completely dry. This waterfall is fed by a crack in the basalt rock from the main river when the water level is high enough. One of my relatives called it Once in a While, which is fitting this very dry June.

With people out vacationing this weekend, I wonder if the “Now and Then” waterfall at Amnicon State Park is flowing or not, if it is as dry up there as around my place. I have seen it where the whole cliff is covered and one year with these two little streams of water falling.
Almost Not Flowing

The day remained cloudy but it probably will be one of the last days in the 60s for the year as winter is approaching too fast, so it was a good day to do some last minute outdoor activities including exploring the parks.
A Late Fall Day at the Falls

The very warm December day is melting the snow but a steady melt so no little streams running across my lawn. This little stream of water is feeding the Now and Then Falls, which had low flow this past October compared to springtime. And the irregular flow is how it got its name.

With flooded streets and washed out bridges from the nine inches of rain that started falling Sunday evening, it is sometimes hard to remember that a short distance away could still be dry. This waterfall, 125 miles to the north of me, could have used some of the water that fell here. I have seen this falls twice before, even once in the autumn, and the water covered most of the face of the rock past where the two little streams are falling. The name of “Now and Then Falls” is fitting as it only flows abundantly when the river level is high and feeds the small branch of the Amnicon River. And this year, the area as been dry so it is barely flowing and one of my relatives called it “Once in a While”.
Almost Dry Waterfall

This weekend was the free fishing and state park days, but the day was wet yesterday and very windy today. But the wind would keep the mosquitoes away if hiking at a park to view waterfalls.

Watching the snowflakes falling this afternoon in below freezing temperatures had me wishing for something else white falling, like a waterfall on a warm spring day. This waterfall sometimes doesn’t even flow in the fall so I rather visit the Now and Then Falls in the spring or summer.

With the long holiday weekend, some people headed to the lakes and parks today to enjoy some of nature’s beauty, like this waterfall which only runs when the main river flow is high enough to supply the offshoot stream.

When the water levels are higher on the Amnicon River, then a small offshoot stream flows and creates the pretty Now and Then Falls in the Amnicon Falls State Park.
