Bond Falls Scenic Site
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bond Falls Scenic Site is a waterfall and state park located in southern Ontonagon County, Michigan. The waterfall is at the outlet of the Bond Falls Flowage 13 miles (21 km) north of Watersmeet, Michigan near U.S. Highway 45.
Bond Falls is a 50-foot-high (15 m) waterfall of the Ontonagon River. The river drops 875 feet (267 m) down from Bond Falls Flowage, which is perched on the highlands of the western Upper Peninsula, to Lake Superior. Bond Falls is the first stage of this drop in elevation. From Bond Falls, the river continues northward to the Agate Falls Scenic Site.[1]
A "flowage", in the language of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, is a reservoir. Bond Falls is a natural waterfall, but it has been enhanced by a nearby dam built by the Upper Peninsula Power Company (UPPCO). There is a rest-area park below the dam and waterfall, from which the falls can be admired.
The Ontonagan River and Bond Falls Flowage are separately stocked with brook trout.
