Horseshoe Falls is a multi-level waterfall on the Pike River that bends around a curve, in the Marinette County Forest within the Horseshoe Falls Equestrian Trails area. Marinette County's directions: from US 141 at Pembine go west on US 8 for 5.5 miles, south on Lily Lake Road for 1.5 miles, west on Twin Lakes Road for half a mile, south on Twelve Foot Falls Road for 7 miles, then Forest Road 510 for half a mile to the turnoff to the falls. Visit Crivitz says to follow FR 510 to the turnoff and parking area. A short gravel path turns to rocks and tree roots and leads to the falls. A visitor account says walking around the bend downstream shows the lower part of the falls. Return the same way.
