Tahquamenon Falls State Park, State park with waterfalls in Upper Peninsula, Michigan.
The Tahquamenon Falls State Park extends across 46,000 acres of land, featuring Upper Falls with a 50-foot drop and 200-foot width.
Native American tribes, particularly the Ojibwa people, used the park's land and river resources for generations before it became a protected area.
The name Tahquamenon originates from Ojibwe language, referring to the water discharge that creates the powerful falls in the park.
Visitors need a Recreation Passport to enter the park, which provides access to camping areas, hiking trails, and rowboat rentals at Lower Falls.
The water in Tahquamenon Falls displays an amber color due to tannins from cedar, spruce, and hemlock trees in surrounding swamps.
