Scott Falls, Roadside waterfall in Alger County, Michigan, United States.
Scott Falls is a waterfall in Alger County that drops roughly 10 feet (3 meters) over a sandstone cliff into a small pool and is visible from highway M-28. It sits right next to the H.J. Rathfoot State Roadside Park.
The sandstone cliff formed over thousands of years through natural erosion and water flow, showing the geological history of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The site was later developed as a rest stop for travelers on the highway.
This cascade is one of many water features across Michigan's Upper Peninsula that attract photographers and nature enthusiasts year-round.
The waterfall is easily reached from the adjoining H.J. Rathfoot State Roadside Park, which has parking and basic facilities available. The area is accessible from the roadside and open to visitors year-round.
Visitors can walk behind the flowing water to experience the cascade from multiple angles. This behind-the-falls access creates an experience quite different from most other waterfalls.
