After finishing up our Au Sable Light/Log Slide hike, we hit up this short one on the way back to camp.

We were shocked at the amount of cars that were parked overflowing the 50+ place parking lot.

This TH serves numerous options in the area.

The entire hike is in dense tree cover, following Mosquito Creek. This is not a hike to do in wet conditions with muddy and rooty conditions most of the way.

The falls are marginally impressive, dropping a massive 7'.

We returned the way we came.
