Ocqueoc Falls - The largest waterfall in Michigan's Lower Peninsula

Ocqueoc Falls is the largest waterfall in Michigan's Lower Peninsula and the only universally-accessible waterfall in the United States. Ocquoec provides approximately six miles of hiking, biking and cross-country skiing opportunities with three marked loops. After hiking the trails, take a swim in the falls! At this site, you can see where the Ocqueoc River has cut a channel through the limestone bedrock that underlays the entire region. During spawning season, you can see the salmon actually swim through these underground channels. The remnants of an old mill race can be seen just above the falls. A State Forest Campground is located at the falls as well.

This HDR image was taken at the end of September - before the fall color season had begun. Comments are welcome - thank you.

I think Yosemite might have something to say about such a bold statement.
