The Miners Falls Trail winds for 0.6 mile (1.2 round trip) into the cool, moist, shady world of the northern mixed hardwood forest. Numbered posts along the trail refer to the following paragraphs. At trail’s end you will be rewarded with a view of one of the Lakeshore’s most spectacular sights – Miners Falls. The falls of the Miners River cascade over a precipice some 60 feet high. The falls are caused by a ledge of Munising Formation sandstone, the same formation that creates Tahquamenon Falls to the east and Laughing Whitefalls to the west.
