Scott Falls

Scott Falls at Hiawatha National Forest in Au Train, Michigan is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back walk that leads to the 10-foot tall free-falling waterfall, Scott Falls.

This is not a hike but rather a very short walk that leads a couple dozen feet from M-28 to the base of Scott Falls. Scott Falls cascades in a free-fall waterfall over a bedrock that features a small cave behind it. The best part about this waterfall is that it's extremely scenic despite being right on the highway, has a small cave to explore, and hikers can get up close to the base of the waterfall.

Parking
Hikers will find a parking turnout along M-28 in front of Scott Falls on the south side of the highway. The turnout is large enough to fit several vehicles, but cars can park down the highway if they wish.

Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and their waste must be carried out by the hiker.
