Dave's Falls, Natural waterfall in Marinette County, Wisconsin, United States.
The falls cascade over multiple rock formations creating a 15-foot drop with both upper and lower sections along the Pike River.
Originally called Pem-a-wan Falls, the site was renamed after lumberjack Dave Frechette, who died clearing a log jam in 1881.
The waterfall stands as part of Marinette County's collection of natural water features, which earned the region its title as Waterfall Capital of Wisconsin.
Access to Dave's Falls requires a $2 entry fee, with the site offering basic facilities including outhouses near the parking area.
The falls feature distinct viewing sections, including a wider 6-foot upper slide and a steeper 10-foot lower cascade over exposed bedrock formations.
