Marinette County is the Waterfalls Capital of Wisconsin!
WARNING: Pictures do NOT do these Waterfalls justice, you must see them for yourself :)
Our 15 waterfalls offer short and long hikes in serene and natural settings. Our self-guided Waterfalls Tour provides a fun, family-friendly way to get back to nature. Consider taking along a picnic basket and take a leisurely lunch alongside your favorite falls! There is nothing quite like driving down a county road and navigating to a Waterfall in the Marinette County.
