Yellow Dog Falls

Reviewed By Markfromthe414 - Milwaukee, United States

A series of falls that are definitely off the beaten path. First, the location in TripAdvisor is wrong. These falls are up near Thomas Rock Scenic Overlook. From Marquette, take 550 north to 510. When 510 meets AAA, stay on 510. It will turn into a gravel/dirt road. Stay on that for about 6.5 miles. There is a bridge and then a small area to park. Once there, the trail follows the river and is pretty well-marked and there are actual bridges over small tributaries to the river. There are a trio of falls that are beautiful. I really enjoyed this hike because there were no large groups and I could really enjoy the peace and scenery.

Perkins County Park

Reviewed By anthonyg274

Just a family style park where you can get to know many friends. Only 25 miles North of Marquette which is now one of the top cities in the United States to live in.
