TAHQUAMENON FALLS STATE PARK, MI UP

July 27 – We arrived at the Rivermouth Campground in the Tahquamenon Falls State Park at about 4 PM. We were shocked when we found that in addition to the campground fee, we also had to purchase the non-resident daily pass for the auto AND the RV!! That was rather expensive for a state park with electric hook-up only!! But we soon got over it. We just stayed away from Michigan State Parks after that!!


As soon as we had set up, we drove to view the Falls – about 15 miles from the campground. Our first stop was the Upper Falls. They were more cascades than falls. We decided they were not worth walking the 1.5 – 2 mile trail to get a closer view.

So we drove to the Lower Falls. Now they were really impressive!!

I decided to walk down the trail to get a closer view.

Stan told us that his Uncle designed the stairs down to the falls. Sorry Stan. I didn’t think to take a picture of those amazing stairs!!

Along the road to the Falls, we discovered a Fish House advertising Fish and Chips!! We stopped by to see if they would be open for dinner. The sign said they were open until 8 PM; however, the waitress said she expected they would be out of the Whitefish between 4 and 5. And, when they ran out of Whitefish, they closed!!

We arrived at about 4:05 PM and got our Whitefish and Chips!! They lived up to their reputation!! UUMMMM!!
