Betsy (of Joyful Reflections) and her husband George (of Senior Moments) love waterfalls and have shared many lovely photos of their trips on their respective blogs. I dedicate this post to them. (P.S. They are 2 of the nicest blogger people you could ever meet!)
Tahquamenon Falls State Park is approximately 52,000 acres and the main attraction of this park is the Tahquamenon Falls of course! The upper falls is one of the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi. It has a drop of 50 feet and is more than 200 feet across.
These photos I'm showing you are of the Lower Falls which is comprised of 5 falls around an island. The Park itself is beautiful to walk through and offers all sorts of great activites such as camping, hiking, backpacking, cross country skiing and much more. They also have a great variety of wildlife - especially the birds. I saw my first hummingbird here!
Hope you enjoyed this part of Northern Michigan! You all come back, ye hear!
(I've always wanted to say that!)

Shelley, thanks for the great pictures and the kind words. You had no way of knowing, but Tahquamenon Falls is on our list of waterfalls to visit. It just got bumped up a few places!
SO pretty!
that's a nice waterfall, Shelley,... I can see Betsy and George packing their duffles already! :)
Not sure you can sound like a Tennessean, no matter what the words are.

Beautiful, Shelley! You're right about Betsy! (I've never "met" her hubby), but I know they sure visit some people places and enjoy nature!
Tammy
Well, since I grew up in Hell Michigan it is only fitting that there is a Paradise Mich...lol
I love waterfalls too. That is probably why I settled in NC. In fact alot of the waterfalls that Betsy comes to see are about 5 miles from my house!
Hugs,

Great photos of beautiful, breathtaking scenery! I love waterfalls...we have some really pretty ones in north Georgia, too!
Have a good one!
Great pictures. Makes me really miss nice weather.

leedra - that was to be said in my yooper (short for the U.P.) accent!
Wendy - I think you would love it!
Charli - hope it brought back new memories!
Connie - glad I made you smile!
Hi Joy!! Glad you liked the falls! And I like fishing too!
Tammy - they have to be one of the friendliest bloggers around!
Penny - I still chuckle to think you grew up in Hell Michigan. Doesn't seem like it should be so!!
April - I bet Georgia has so many beautiful places to visit!
Oh white water!Those falls look just perfect for kayaking.
Great pictures, we do live in a beautiful country!
denise
Wow! Gorgeous country. One of my favorite features of the area we bought our country "someday" place in is the waterfalls. I'd go just about anywhere for a waterfall. This is just beautiful!
Thank you so much for sharing the blogs and pictures. They are beautiful, probably as close as I will ever get to that part of the country!
Shelley,
The pics are beautiful what a great place to go to have fun!
Rondell
That is gorgeous. The first pic didn't show up though.
Grammy - I am so anxious for spring!!
Cassie - they have warning signs here that the water is treachorous. I'll stick to my calm lakes. I'm a wimp!
Denise - I think its amazing sometimes what one can find in their own state!
Citymouse - I'm so envious about your someday place being near a waterfall!
Brandi - glad you liked them!
Sandy - wish you could've seen it.
Lovely photographs of the falls. Looks like a great birding place as well.

How's that sound? Like fun?
I've been to Tahquamenon Falls. We stumbled onto that gorgeous little state park when we visited Mackinaw Island several years ago. It is breathtaking but in an isolated out of the way location. I don't think many people know about it.
