Tahquamenon Falls

We had to go over the Mackinaw Bridge to get to the Upper Peninsula on our way to the Falls. This bridge is 5 miles long and on Labor Day, there is a special event where folks can walk across the bridge.
We stopped at a Scenic Wayside on Lake Superior and enjoyed watching the kids chase the birds around the sandbars. The water is so blue and it was such a beautiful day.

These are pictures of the Upper Falls. The water is so rusty looking because of the tanic acid from the trees decomposing. It is said not to harm the fish, just looks awful to me.



About 4 miles from the Upper Falls, are the Lower Falls.


On our return trip, we stopped in St. Ignace at the Mackinaw Grill and had lunch on the deck overlooking the water. The breeze was blowing, the seagulfs dipping and diving, boats coming and going....lovely.
More later from your Happy Travelers.
