Oravec roadside park) just past the bridge over the Ontonagon River. Unfortunately the provided trails and overlooks are somewhat limited. With some effort you can scramble down to the river to get some very good views of the falls, which seems to be popular with local fishermen, or scramble up the river banks to get to the old railroad bridge over the falls. The bridge is now part of a snowmobile trail. Bond Falls. This is the best single waterfall in the Western U. P, and the second best waterfall in Michigan. If you are in the Western U. P., possibly on your way to or from the Porcupines or Copper Harbor, this is a definitely worth a stop. Bond Falls is in the western U. P. on Bond Falls Rd, east of Pauding MI.

In addition to being very picturesque, this is a very popular waterfall, and unless you visit early in the morning or in winter, you are going to have a lot of company. Brownstone Falls. A very scenic waterfall, and easy to get to. There is a $1. 0 day use fee to visit the park. There are many other waterfalls in the area, including two others in the park. Brownstone Falls is located in Wisconsin’s Copper Falls State Park. Here the Tyler’s Fork of the Bad River plunges into the Bad River Gorge. This is a very pretty waterfall, surrounding by impressive reddish brown rock. It is only 3. 0 feet high but something about the surroundings make it look much larger.
