MEMORIAL FALLS
MUNISING
There are a few examples of waterfalls in the U.P. that are simple to reach but have unparalleled beauty. Memorial Falls is the highlight, but if you plan a bit, three stunning pillars are available within a half-mile journey.
TIPS These falls are visited frequently in the warmer months, but there is no trail maintenance in the winter. Snowshoes will make your travel fun and enjoyable. Show up after a fresh snowfall on a cold blue-sky day for a stunning contrast around the falls.
SAFETY These ice pillars have running rivers inside them. Take care while viewing the falls up close and know that they are always slippery around their bases. Make sure you know where rivers are flowing away from these pillars.
DIRECTIONS From downtown Munising, head northeast on H-58 (Munising Avenue) for almost 2 miles. Turn right on Nestor Street. Follow the signs at the intersection of Nestor and Cleveland Street to park in a safe location and follow the trail heading west. Signage is available to help guide you on this short approach.
