The state free park day will draw people to cooler places on a hot Sunday. The Willow River cascades through a 200 foot deep gorge where one of the lower layers of rock is around 600 million years old.

The above freezing temperature allowed some melting of snow, but like this waterfall, the amount was a little trickle and falling from my roof. It will take a warmer day to get more flow.

Instead of frost falling today, snowflakes were dropping from the sky. And many of the waterfalls in the area are frozen and not flowing, but I am looking forward to the spring melt when they start falling again.

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.

What a difference a month can make. The temperature was just barely above freezing but warm enough for the precipitation to be rain and not snow for the moment. Watching water falling drop down over rapids on a warm autumn day is more enjoyable than the cold rain this afternoon that will turn to snow tonight.

The rain overnight would have added a little more water to the streams so with the sunshine this afternoon, it was a good day for an autumn hike along a river, especially if near a cascading waterfall.

After the main cascading section of Siskiwit Falls, this little drop is a peaceful spot to listen to the water rushing by on its way to empty into Lake Superior.

After climbing up and down the ladder today painting, I decided that climbing the stairs up and down from the top to the bottom waterfall and back up would have been more enjoyable. The High Falls of the Baptism River is a hundred foot drop so it took a lot of stair climbing.

Lake Superior has more than 200 rivers flowing into it and its watershed ranges from 160 miles inland near the Lake Nipigon area of Ontario to only 5 miles inland by the Pictured Rocks National Seashore in Michigan. And one river in that narrow watershed area is Spray Creek and it plunges over the cliffs at Pictured Rocks and lands directly into Lake Superior seventy feet below.

The recent rain caused my pond to overflow again although I rather see water flowing over a falls instead, especially since I couldn’t mow part of my lawn today again with the standing water. Twin Falls is in an area that hasn’t had as much rain so the flow is lighter but at least it was flowing when I hiked back to it earlier this month.
