Often the backdrop for wedding couples to figuratively take the plunge, the 165-foot tall Big
Manitou Falls in Pattison State Park near Superior is the fourth-tallest waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains. Impressive stats for sure.
The water comes from the Black River, meandering 22 miles southwest of the park on the Wisconsin-Minnesota border. As it passes through Pattison, its first drop is actually 31 feet over Little Manitou Falls. Then it reaches the awe-inspiring Big Manitou Falls.
The best vantage point to see Big Manitou is from the south, where two overlooks provide head-on views of the waterfall. You can get much closer to Little Manitou Falls.
There are more than eight miles of hiking trails and a mix of campsites in the park. There are naturalist-guided hikes through the year, which is a great way to get acquainted with the landscape here that takes you high and low. Read more...travelwisconsin.com
