Where the Waterfalls Are
Niagara sits in or near the Northeast Woods and the Menominee River area of Wisconsin. Marinette County calls itself the waterfall capital of Wisconsin, and with 13 listed falls it leads the state. Rivers such as the Pike and Peshtigo cross bands of hard rock, producing falls like Daves Falls, Long Slide Falls, Smalley Falls, Strong Falls and Horseshoe Falls, many in county parks. In neighboring Menominee County, the Wolf River flows through the Menominee Indian Reservation over a series of falls and rapids. Shawano, Florence, Oneida and Lincoln counties add more river falls, often surrounded by northern hardwood and pine forest. Read the Wisconsin waterfall guide.
