Agate Falls Scenic Site, State park waterfall in Ontonagon County, Michigan.
The waterfall cascades 40 feet over terraced sandstone layers, creating multiple streams of water that flow into the middle branch of the Ontonagon River.
The Ontonagon River carved this natural formation through layers of ancient sandstone, exposing geological structures that date back millions of years.
The waterfall serves as a significant natural landmark in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, drawing photographers and nature enthusiasts throughout the changing seasons.
Visitors can access the observation platform through a half-mile trail that passes under M-28 highway and provides views of both the falls and railroad trestles.
During winter months, the cascading water freezes into intricate ice formations, transforming the entire waterfall into a natural ice sculpture.
