Miners Falls, Sandstone waterfall in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Michigan.
Miners Falls features a 50-foot drop where the Miners River flows over resistant sandstone formations, creating a strong water cascade.
The National Park Service incorporated Miners Falls into Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore to preserve the natural formations of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
The waterfall serves as a central point for nature education programs, teaching visitors about the geological processes that shaped the Great Lakes region.
A 0.6-mile gravel trail leads to two viewing platforms, with 64 steps descending to the lower observation point for direct waterfall views.
The waterfall maintains strong water flow throughout the year due to the continuous discharge from the protected Miners River watershed.
