Wagner Falls

Wagner Falls at the Wagner Falls Scenic Site in Munising, Michigan is an easy 0.2-mile out-and-back hike that leads to the 30-foot tall multi-tier waterfall, Wagner Falls.

This is less of a hike and more of a quick walk that leads to a viewing platform at the base of Wagner Falls. The trail is mostly flat with gravel for substrate that runs along Wagner Creek, passing some old-growth eastern hemlock trees along the way to reach Wagner Falls. Hikers will reach a small set of stairs that leads up to the viewing platform at the base Wagner Falls. Wagner Falls cascades down a series of bedrock ledges, making for a ~30-foot tall waterfall.

Parking
Hikers will find parking at the coordinates provided. The lot is a large turnout area large enough to fit a half-dozen vehicles. On the opposite side of the road is another parking turnout of a similar size.

Pets
