Color turning on some of the leaves provide a reminder that autumn is approaching but with the heat today, it still felt like summer and the refreshing mist from a rushing river was a welcome relief.

The usually warm November Saturday had many people outside enjoying the nice weather. Some might have even hiked along to Presque Isle River to see the three different waterfalls, including this small one called Nawadaha Falls which drops about fifteen feet.

Years and years of high water flowing in the river channel has created an interesting pattern in the rock wall.

Recreation on a river means different things to people as some prefer kayaking, fishing, swimming, boating, wading or just enjoying and photographing the view from shore. The west channel of the Presque Isle River is a little more wild with the rapids and pot holes carved out in the rock bed.

Downstream from the Manabezho Falls is a series of rapids as the Presque Isle River divides into two swifter and narrower channels that cut deeply into the underlying bedrock before it empties into Lake Superior. In lower levels, you can walk across the rocky river bed and see the calmer water on the east channel.

A nice sunny October weekend allows visits to area parks and scenic places, such as Manabezho Falls on the Presque Isle River which has a drop of about 25 feet and about 150 feet across. The name Manabezho refers to an Ojibway spirit god.
