Park on the east side of the Eagle River bridge, a short distance off M-26 in the town of Eagle River. The old steel highway bridge is now a pedestrian bridge and serves as a viewing platform for the falls, which slide over a bowl of basalt below an old wooden dam. A small footpath leads down to the river edge.
