Winter at Upper Tahquamenon Falls |
Upper Tahquamenon Falls, Michigan U.P.
The falls are in TAHQ Falls State Park in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (U.P.). To get to both the upper and lower falls, go west of Paradise, Michigan on M-123. The park is a very popular and busy place spring through fall with a fair number of visitors in the winter. I was at the falls a week ago (end of February) and a steady stream of visitors were there who had arrived by car, truck, or snowmobile. There are hiking trails throughout the area and groomed snowmobile trails in the winter. It is a beautiful place and well worth the trip. I have an Autumn photo of the upper falls here. If you haven't been to the U.P. before, you will notice all the signs for "pasties" (the "a" sounds like "past", not "paste"). Pasties are like runzas (well known in Nebraska) only more rounded, or like a pot pie without the pot. Stop and try one at the Berry Patch Restaurant in Paradise. |
