FLORENCE COUNTY WATERFALLS For UpNorth FUN: ExploreFlorenceCounty.comFlorence County Waterfalls

Meyers FallsThe best view of 7-foot Meyers Falls is from the north. This cute, intricate falls offers the best picture from the bottom. The large flat rocks are a great spot for scenic group photos, picnics or fishing access. Look for berries near the parking lot and on the road in August.

Directions from the north: 7.5 miles west of Florence on Hwy 70 turn left onto Goodman Grade Road at the WI Wild River signs #13 - #15. Follow signs for #13 Meyers Falls on the gravel road to the right for 1.5 miles to a grassy parking area. The falls is only 25 yards from the lot.

Directions from the south: 11.5 miles south of Florence on Hwy 101 turn right onto Patten Lake Road. Drive 3.5 miles and turn right onto North Shore Road. This road turns into Goodman Grade Road. Follow the blue waterfall signs. Just south of the Pine River, turn left, drive a little more than 1/2 mile and park near a fork in the road. It is a short walk to the falls.

Big Bull FallsThis waterfall is the only one with an island in the middle. There are several trails to see the falls from the top, middle and bottom for great photos. If the water levels are low enough, you can cross the top of the north channel to see the south channel which is a cluster of smaller falls. In June, hunt for edible Oyster mushrooms that smell like licorice growing on dead popple trees in this area.

Directions: Head south out of Florence on Hwy 101 for 13 miles. Turn right at WI WR sign #3 onto West River Road just north of the Popple River. Park in the lot just over ½ mile from Hwy 101. A 1/4 mile rustic trail and several side trails lead to the falls. Little Bull Falls requires paddling down from access #5 on Morgan Lake Road. It must be portaged for safety.

Washburn FallsWashburn Falls offers easy access to enjoy the tranquility of the Wild Rivers. This quaint falls drops 6-feet over a series of rocky ledges. This is a great picnic spot close to the road and on the way to LaSalle Falls. Trout fishermen can wade up or down stream to two Class 1 tributaries: Woods Creek and Lamon Tangue Creek.

Directions from the south: Turn east onto County Road C from Hwy 101. After 5 miles, turn left after the Washburn Falls sign on Sunrise Road. Follow this winding dirt road about 4 miles to a parking lot on a sharp curve. It is just 20 yards to the falls.

Directions from the east: Washburn Falls is about 4 miles west from the LaSalle Falls parking lot on LaSalle Falls Road.

Jennings FallsJennings Falls and rapids drops the Popple River about 10-feet. The hike in is easy on a good trail. Once there, the more you traverse the rocky shore, the more you will love this secluded falls. There is a little feeder creek with mossy deadfalls that kids have fun exploring. The shore is shaded by enchanting old cedar trees. Trout fishermen can wade upstream to the Class 1 Woods Creek tributary. A 2008 trout habitat project restored 2,700 feet of the Popple River.

Directions: Head south on Hwy 101 for 7 miles. Turn left at WI WR sign #2 onto Mulberry Lane. Drive about 1 mile to the trail marker sign. Park along the road or 25 yards past the trail in the turn around area. Follow the improved trail 3/4-mile to the falls.

Bull FallsBull Falls might only drop 5-feet, but the rushing water of this fast flowing rapids is a great place to escape the stress of life. The walk to the falls travels through a majestic, mature hemlock forest. The forest floor is blanketed with trilliums in June. There are unique, shiny yellow birch root formations in many places. Fishing access is easy here.

Directions from the north: 7.5 miles west of Florence on Hwy 70 turn left onto Goodman Grade Road where the WI Wild River signs #13 - #15 are located. Follow signs for #15 Bull Falls on the gravel road to the left for 1.5 miles to a grassy parking lot. Follow the footpath 1/3 miles to the falls.

Breakwater FallsThis 45-foot 3-tiered falls morphs from thunderous to delicate depending on water levels. Each tier is unique, cascading over ancient rock formations offering many photo ops. The north side has sev-eral smaller back falls too. This trail is tough for young children and people with difficulty walking since it includes climbing rocks. Trail improvements are planned for the future.

Directions from the south: turn west on Power Dam Road off of Hwy N. After 1.25 miles stay right at the Y. The road dead ends at the Pine River Dam power house. Park there, walk around the gate and up the gravel road. Follow the signs to head downhill toward the top of the road. The trail along the river is unimproved and requires a climb up hill after the 3rd tier to get back to the road.

LaSalle FallsThis impressive falls plummets 22-feet over a rock outcrop that rises 35 feet from 2 billion year-old bedrock. The main trail leads to a large rock cliff hanging over the falls, a great place to sit and enjoy the roaring falls. For the best photo, take the trail to the base of the falls. Downstream of the falls is a steep walled, 1/2-mile gorge, filled with rapids. For a great adventure, paddle canoes or kayaks up the Pine River Flowage to the end of this rapids. Portage up the trail on the south side of river and put-in to run the gorge rapids.

Directions from the south: Turn north after the LaSalle Falls sign on County Road C. Follow LaSalle Falls Road 2.5 miles to a parking lot on the north side of the road. A 1-mile hike leads to the falls. Watch for trail signs to reach the top or bottom.

Directions from Washburn Falls: Follow LaSalle Falls Road about 4 miles from Washburn Falls east to the LaSalle Falls parking lot.
