Tahquamenon Falls is an amazing site to see and is only about an hour away from Blaney Park. The Upper Falls is what you seen throughout the UP on all the billboards. The amazing amber color of the water is caused by the tannins that are leached from the cedar, spruce and hemlock in the swamps drained by Tahquamenon river.
When you come into the parking area for the Upper Falls there is a small brewery & restaurant, which was a nice surprise on the day we went.
The Lower falls is where the Upper Falls drain into and foam is created from to the incredibly soft water. A good thing to know when you visit the Lower Falls, you can rent a small boat for $20 per family or $7 per person., but make sure you have CASH on hand. They do not accept credits/debt cards.
