The falls are located in a gorge along the Sturgeon River and have been given the moniker, “Grand Canyon of the U.P.”
Canyon Falls are located off one of the many, “Roadside Scenic Areas” that dot Michigan’s’ Upper Peninsula. There is an established trailhead with restrooms and an informative kiosk. The trailhead also offers a gateway to the Great Northern Trail. The trail to the falls is a combination of dirt path and boardwalk. I imagine this roadside attraction gets busy on weekends, but we pretty much had it to ourselves on a Thursday morning. |
