    Short, easy walk to the falls. Nice to see in summer, stunning in the winter. Well worth a stop. Great picture spot.  more »

    Very pretty. Easy, quick walk to the falls. I was here 45 years ago, nature hasn't changed much, but my photo quality sure has.  more »

    Munising Falls itself (the waterfall) isn't that impressive compared to the other falls in the region, but what this trail offers that others don't is an extremely up close look at the sandstone earth formations that make up the national Pictured Rocks lakeshore. The drive in is easy and the hike is easy too. Take the stairs, it's worth it.
  • By James Roy On September 2, 2017
    Nice close up view of the falls. Easy access makes it one of the more crowded falls in the area. Staff at store was helpful and knowledgeable
