Lower Amnicon Falls is a slide about 15 feet high and 30 feet long on the Amnicon River in Amnicon Falls State Park, south of US 2 near Superior. An old covered footbridge (the Horton Covered Bridge) crosses the river between the Upper and Lower falls. The 0.25-mile trail on the island gives views of the three main falls, Upper, Lower and Snake Pit. Short, mostly flat river walks lead up and down the river to other pools and cascades.
