Bond Falls, Waterfall in Ontonagon County, United States.
Bond Falls features multiple cascades dropping 50 feet over ancient rock formations, creating patterns of white water through the forested landscape.
The waterfall gained recognition in the 1920s when the construction of a hydroelectric dam modified water flow patterns in the Ontonagon River.
The Ojibwe people considered the cascading waters of Bond Falls a sacred site for gatherings and ceremonies before European settlement.
The site includes an accessible boardwalk system with viewing platforms, parking facilities, and maintained trails for visitors throughout the year.
During winter months, the waterfall transforms into frozen formations, with ice columns reaching heights of 50 feet against dark rock faces.
