My roof was dripping water from the melting snow but it wasn’t like a waterfall yet since it was only 40 and shaded but maybe this weekend it will melt more and frozen steams could start flowing again. This little waterfall in the Porcupine Mountains is often bypassed in search of taller and bigger falls, but it is a cute little treasure.
Overlooked Falls a Treasure
Although it was slightly above freezing today, there was no autumn foliage and no sunshine to cause a reflection of yellow and gold in the pool of water as in October. Instead the ice is forming along the edges and snow hides the green beneath.
Golden Water
Over ninety waterfalls can be found in the Porcupine Mountains and even more in the surrounding area in Upper Michigan. The biggest and tallest waterfalls get most of the attention or ones which are easy to hike to. One of the overlooked falls is appropriately named Overlooked Falls. The small falls consists of two drop of about five feet each drop, so not as impressive as waterfalls in the area dropping forty feet or more, but it a scenic little falls as the water splits around the rocks on the upper drop.
