Waterfalls of the Keweenaw: Manganese Falls

Manganese Falls drops into a deep, narrow gorge just outside Copper Harbor. Turn south on 2nd Street (Manganese Road) next to the Pines Resort and drive 0.7 mile to a wide shoulder. Walk the short path to the viewing platform, which gives a partial view of the crest and gorge. The platform sits above a sheer cliff; do not climb over the fences.
