Superior Falls, Waterfall on Montreal River between Wisconsin and Michigan, United States.
Superior Falls is a waterfall on the Montreal River that divides Wisconsin and Michigan, dropping through multiple tiers in stages. The water plunges through a deep rocky gorge, creating a dramatic landscape along the state boundary.
The site has been a significant landscape feature along the Montreal River for a long time. A hydroelectric facility was later constructed to manage the water flow passing over the falls.
The falls attract visitors throughout the summer months who gather to enjoy the water and the natural setting. The experience of standing at a state border while watching the river flow creates a unique sense of place.
A parking area sits near the main road, making it easy to stop and access the falls. Informal trails from there lead to different viewing spots along the gorge where you can see the water from various angles.
The water flow is controlled by a nearby power facility that maintains a steady amount passing over the rocks. This means the falls do not vary dramatically with the seasons but instead remain relatively consistent throughout the year.
