Nawadaha Falls

Nawadaha Falls is one of three waterfalls upstream from the mouth of the Presque Isle River in Upper Michigan’s Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. The other falls are Manido Falls and Manabezho Falls. Nawadaha Falls is the easiest waterfall of the three to access. It is about a tenth of a mile walk on a wide flat trail to reach a viewing platform. Parking to access Nawadaha Falls is located across from the Ranger Station for the Presque Isle Scenic Area. Nawadaha Falls has a 15-foot drop. This waterfall can also be seen from both sides of the Presque Isle River by taking the Presque Isle River Waterfalls Loop which takes hikers by all three waterfalls. This loop is 2.3 miles in length.

Since Nawadaha Falls is located within a Michigan state park, a daily or annual Recreation Passport is required. A Recreation Passport can be purchased at the Ranger Station for the Presque Isle Scenic Area.
