Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / February 2008Tahquamenon Falls State Park
looking for any feedback on this park. thanks > looking for any feedback on this park. > thanks There are two campgrounds. One is by the Lower Falls and the other is at the River Mouth. The River Mouth has a rustic camping area along the Tahquamenon that I enjoy due to the view and relative seclusion. But no electricity and pit toilets. The other side of the campground has electricity and bathhouse. The Lower Falls campground is larger, tends to be more crowded with folks heading to the falls. Both the Lower and Upper Falls are very scenic, and quite different from each other. No camping at the Upper Falls, but it does have a brew pub. :) Great hiking trails abound. I highly recommended a visit to nearby Whitefish Point and the Shipwreck Museum. The mosquitoes can be formidable and during the wrong time of year (July?), biting black flies are around. > looking for any feedback on this park. > thanks John, if you have any specific questions, ask away! kind of undecided about the lower falls vs the rivermouth. we camped at the lower many years back, dont remember much about the campsite, but i do remember driving by the rivermouth, thought it looked cool. wife is leaning toward the lower , i am leaning towards the rivermouth. either way, i'm there! thanks >> looking for any feedback on this park. >> thanks > > John, if you have any specific questions, ask away! > kind of undecided about the lower falls vs the rivermouth. we camped at the > lower many years back, dont remember much about the campsite, but i do > remember driving by the rivermouth, thought it looked cool. wife is leaning > toward the lower , i am leaning towards the rivermouth. either way, i'm > there! I spent a few days of my first honeymoon at Rivermouth, 25 years ago or so (we spent a coupla weeks touring and tent-camping around northern MI on my motorcycle). I prefer it to Lower Falls, myself. -Dave  Signaturerigger-at-TDS-dot-net IATSE#274 DoD#2117 ACGwB#5 NGI#666 BMoZ#[classified] > kind of undecided about the lower falls vs the rivermouth. we camped at the > lower many years back, dont remember much about the campsite, but i do > remember driving by the rivermouth, thought it looked cool. wife is leaning > toward the lower , i am leaning towards the rivermouth. either way, i'm > there! thanks Enjoy yourself. The Rivermouth is more secluded (quieter!). More to do at Lower Falls. Do you know the area? If so, disregard my list. Some things worth doing: driving over to the Soo and seeing the locks. I mentioned Whitefish Point. And the hiking. I've hiked/ backpacked from the Rivermouth to Upper Falls and back. The Crisp Point Lighthouse is spectacular. Getting there is an accomplishment in itself. See http://www.crisppointlighthouse.org/ and make sure you read the driving directions if you do intend to go there! Also, you can rent a canoe on the Big Two Hearted River. At the Lower Falls, be sure to rent a row boat and go over to the island. When you take a walk around the island, you'll get some great views of the falls. And of course, who could resist going to Paradise? |
