Alger Falls

Alger Falls is a roadside waterfall near Munising that drops across multiple rock ledges along M-28. The water cascades over the tiered formation, with flow intensity varying throughout the year based on rainfall and snowmelt.

The waterfall became accessible to the public with the construction of M-28 highway in the early 20th century, which connected communities across Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The road transformed this natural feature into a convenient stop for travelers passing through the region.

The falls serve as a natural landmark in Alger County, where waterfalls play a central role in local outdoor recreation and tourism.

You can park on the road shoulder near the M-28 and M-94 intersection, with clear views of the falls from your vehicle. The location is easy to spot and requires minimal walking from the parking area.

During winter months, the falling water transforms into natural ice formations that display different patterns each cold season. These frozen cascades create a striking visual transformation and draw visitors during colder times of year.
