Siskiwit Falls

Siskiwit Falls is a favorite place to play. Hike up the falls or slide down the falls. Either way, it is a beautiful site and shouldn’t be missed when you visit Cornucopia.

Falls Overview

Siskiwit Falls is located in the town of Cornucopia on the Siskiwit River, less than mile before it empties into Lake Superior. The falls consist of a series of drops and slides. The largest is a slide with a height of about 10 feet. There are three others with drops between 2 and 5 feet.

The falls is located upstream and downstream of the bridge over the river on Siskiwit Falls Road. One of the smaller drops, a 3 foot ledge, is clearly visible from the bridge. A short trail leads from the bridge down to the brink of the falls. I think many people think this is all there is to Siskiwit Falls. Fortunately they are incorrect.

A 5 foot high slide is located just upstream around the corner. In August the water was spread very thinly over the rock. I imagine this drop is much more scenic with more water. Trails lead to the drop from the drop by the bridge, and directly from the road.

The best drop is located downstream of the bridge. On the east side of a bridge you will find a well trodden trail down to the river. This passes a number of small drops and rapids, another slide in the 5 foot range. The last, and best drop, is less than a 1/4 mile from the bridge. The trail continues a bit farther and ends at the river.
