Laughing Whitefish Falls Scenic Site
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Laughing Whitefish Falls Scenic Site is a waterfall and state park located in far western Alger County, Michigan. The waterfall is 8 miles (13 km) south of Lake Superior near M-94.
Laughing Whitefish Falls is formed by an abrupt limestone escarpment of the Laughing Whitefish River, which flows northward into Lake Superior. The falls is located within the Escanaba River State Forest. The escarpment is shaped so as to draw out the cascade into an unusual fan-shaped wall of water.
From M-94, a 2.8-mile (4.5 km) drive northward on Dorsey Road and a one-mile (1.5 km) hike from the roadhead are necessary to reach the falls.[1]
