Black River Harbor's Waterfalls, Ottawa National Forest, UP.MI |
There are five waterfalls: Rainbow Falls, Sandstone Falls, Gorge Falls, Potowatomi Falls, and Great Conglomerate Falls. Rainbow Falls is hard to photograph from the side of the river I have always been on. There is a trail to the opposite side, but I have yet to try it. |
This picture above is zoomed in at Sandstone Falls. These pictures were taken at very low water during the Autumn of 2003. The picture to the right is a very nice picture of Sandstone Falls. Beneath where the photographer stands... there are lesser cascades which continue downstream for several hundred feet. |
Gorge Falls also is a little more difficult to get a compete photograph of. It is very beautiful will the rock walls surrounding you. |
This is Potowatomi Falls, again at a time when there is low water. |
And finally is Great Congolomerate Falls. It is actually a very large rock facade, but the eastern-most section is the where the water was currently flowing. |
This is half of the bridge that connects one side of the harbor to the other over the Black River very close to the mouth of the river. |
