Wren Falls is a 12-foot falls on the Tyler Forks in the woods of Iron County, about 6 miles south of Gurney. From Highway 169, turn onto Vogues Road and follow it 3.6 miles to a hairpin turn where it meets Casey Sag Road. A rough two-track heads south toward the falls; it is only one vehicle wide with no room to pass, and drivers of low cars may prefer to walk. From the Wren Falls Road parking area, take the forest road to the right up a small hill and continue to the Wren Falls Overlook, about 100 feet above the falls. A steep descent leads to the base of the falls. The North Country Trail continues around the escarpment and crosses the Tyler Forks on the Bill Thomas Memorial Bridge. Return the same way.
