Tannery Falls, Waterfall in Alger County, Michigan
Tannery Falls cascades over a sandstone cliff, dropping 40 feet through a narrow channel with a width of 5 feet along Tannery Creek.
The waterfall gained recognition in the early settlement period of Michigan's Upper Peninsula when geological surveys mapped the region's water features.
Local photographers and artists frequently document the seasonal changes of Tannery Falls, capturing winter ice formations and autumn leaf displays.
The waterfall trail starts near H-58 with a stairway leading down to the falls, requiring careful navigation across uneven terrain.
A natural cave-in behind the falls redirected the creek's flow, creating an uncommon geological formation where water flows through a rock tunnel.
