Amnicon Falls State Park, State park in Douglas County, US.
The Amnicon River forms multiple cascading waterfalls within the park's 600-acre expanse, surrounded by dense forests of red and white pine trees.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources established this state park in 1961 to protect the natural waterfalls and geological formations along the Amnicon River.
The name Amnicon originates from Ojibwe language, indicating the presence of Native American communities who lived near these abundant waterfalls before colonization.
Visitors can access walking paths, camping areas, and picnic spots throughout the four seasons, with designated zones for swimming during summer months.
The park contains multiple waterfall sections formed by ancient lava flows and sandstone beds, creating natural steps in the river's descent.
