There are actually two areas here, the Lower Falls and the Upper Falls. The Lower Falls are a series of smaller waterfalls coming down on either side of an Island.
The two falls shown here are on the east side of the Island.
Rowboats were available for rental to take out to the Island where there is a boardwalk that goes around the Island and affords different views of the falls. As much as I would have liked to, I'm not very adept at rowing a boat so didn't attempt this little excursion. The falls in the background are the same ones in the first picture.
This is the last of a series of three smaller falls that are on the west side of the Island. A boardwalk leads you along the river to several viewing platforms.
An interesting sign along the way - Prayer of the Woods.
Another sign – showing the layout of the river and island and warning of the dangers of the falls.
From one of the viewing platforms, looking back at where the first few pictures were taken.
Fast flowing water. The brown color is caused from tannin brought in from the streams that flow into the river.
The uppermost of the Lower Falls. Visitors to the Island wade out into the river.
And finally, a closeup of the flowing waters.

OK, you have me ROTFLOL. Did not figure on my lesson on how to pronounce Tahquamenon to show up on the net! Next time I'll go look it up and give you the Webster's version.
But, the photos are great, specially that last one.
Glad you did visit our TQ falls! Nope, that is not Webster correct either.
Becky it's good to catch up with your blog and your great photos. I missed you when I was out of the loop while my computer languished with its virus! I enjoy my early morning 'visit' with you!
Ah, they're lovely photos Becky! Were the temps any cooler in the UP?

The ability to comment has been turned off for all blog posts effective 21 May 2018. Kinexxions has been inactive for more than two years and most comments have come to me directly via email from readers but more than a few were simply spam. My desire is to keep the blog available to the public since there is value in what has been published, particularly posts dealing with family history.
I am still extremely interested in hearing from readers who might be related and have questions or simply want contact with a distant cousin. Please contact me directly via email at kinexxions@gmail.com
This action is also being taken partially due to the General Data Protection Regulation aka "GDPR" going into effect on 25 May 2018. Even though it is a regulation implemented by the European Union that primarily affects businesses and corporations, it governs how data about people can be used. That includes comments left on blog posts, thus the ability to comment is no longer available.
