			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.westernup.com/bondfalls/cover.jpg" align="bottom" height="169" width="354" /><br clear="all" />Bond Falls is one of those &#8220;best kept secret&#8221;             spots on the Western Upper Peninsula that you want to             make sure you do not miss. This beautiful water fall is             located on the middle branch of the Ontonagon River near             Paulding. Although it does not get the &#8220;press&#8221; of more             famous U.P. water falls, Bond Falls has a large following             of admirers and had even been part of a calendar listing             the most scenic natural places in the world!<br clear="all" /></p>

<div class="flickrTag_container"><a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/42/110052058_9804656cbd.jpg" class="flickr" title="Bond Falls actually falls in two different sections.  The upper falls (not in this photo) is a series of rushing rapids and cascades falling over rocky ledges and outcroppings.

The main drop of Bond Falls (this photo) is absolutely breathtaking and has been photographed for various commercials and advertisements. The river widens to nearly 80 feet before falling over 50 feet in a series of steplike cascades. The squared-off rock stairs are scattered haphazardly in many different layers, causing the water to bounce off their flat tops in a complicated pattern of white streams. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/65695701@N00/110052058/&quot;&gt;view&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;flickr&amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;" rel="lightbox[cf904fd15691b0a0615f30e933908ec8]"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/42/110052058_9804656cbd_s.jpg" alt="" class="flickr_img square tag" /></a><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3085/2910775609_5c8dc7c909.jpg" class="flickr" title="First prize winner in Lake Superior Magazine's photo contest!

The water level is controlled by a dam, and a steady flow over the falls is maintained for scenic reasons. The river cascades over a dark, wide rim of ancient volcanic rock, then curves and disappears into a concrete channel that helps minimize erosion. Finally, the water spreads out for dramatic effect at the falls where the river drops almost 50 feet over a wide series of stair-like boulders.

This is slightly different interpretation of the Bond Falls 04 image.  The composition is slightly different and the shutter speed is longer, resulting in less definition in the water.

This picture is from an annual winter hiking/camping trip I used to do in Northern Wisconsin and Upper Peninsula Michigan. This place is the definition of &amp;quot;Winter Woderland&amp;quot; in January and February. Camping could be a little tough sometimes - I actually camped in -20 (yes that's a minus sign) with 20-30 mph winds one night.
This was on a place called Madeline Island in Lake Superior. You get to Madeline Island via &amp;quot;The Ice Road&amp;quot; which is to say you drive over Lake Superior to get there. It's a little creepy driving on a lake, but there were other people doing it so I figured it was safe. 
The camping was a miserable experience, and illustrates my penchant for letting guts get the better of brains. I learned my lesson and stayed in a motel the next night.

Thanks to siskokid's cool photos of winter on Lake Superior for motivating me to dig these out - I really miss these trips. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/21059999@N08/2234432905/&quot;&gt;view&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;flickr&amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;" rel="lightbox[cf904fd15691b0a0615f30e933908ec8]"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2004/2234432905_d751ac16cf_s.jpg" alt="" class="flickr_img square tag" /></a></div>

<strong>Superior Falls </strong>- Extremely beautiful gorge. Access is moderately easy. <strong>Directions:</strong> From Hwy US 2 in Ironwood. Go North on Lake Rd. This is approximately 25 mile drive. You will see a marker on the road that says Superior Falls. Turn north (right) on that gravel road. Continue down the small hill to the parking lot. Walk down the road to the River Mouth and Lake Superior. Then walk upstream 1/3 mile to Superior Falls. Superior Dam Falls is a little further upstream. If you have time, stop at Little Girls Point Park for a picnic. You will see this park on Lake Road on your way to the Falls.</p>

Superior Falls is a waterfall situated on the Montreal River, which forms the border between Iron County, Wisconsin and Gogebic County, Michigan. The falls drop 90 feet before the Montreal River empties into Lake Superior at Oronto Bay. In the spring of 2006, extreme kayak competitor, Tao Berman launched himself out of a helicopter and kayaked over the chaotic currents. His efforts were showcased on an August episode of the Discovery Channel's series, Stunt Junkies: Go Big or Go Home, entitled &amp;quot;Kayak Plunge&amp;quot;...

The river forms the state line with Wisconsin. It's one of the most dramatic waterfalls in Michigan. Here the river is narrower, only 30 feet wide, wedged between steep rock walls of a deep gorge over a hundred feet down from the visitor's vantage point. The river turns into a thundering column of foam, some 40 feet straight down, which soon settles into a quiet pool, turns, and flows between those towering and steep gorge walls. The fracture lines go almost straight up and down, powerful testimony to the tremendous forces of uplift and tilting from the earth's early time (from Hunt's Guide To Michigan's Upper Peninsula).

The final drop of the Montreal River before it reaches Lake Superior is about 45 feet, which in itself is not incredibly noteworthy, especially considering it is tempered by a dam further upstream.  Rather it is the multi-hued rock walls of the canyon which surround the falls here that are remarkable.  After tumbling over the falls, the river makes its final move toward the lake in a canyon of rust-tinted walls.  Protected from the wind, the water is placid and reflects the canyon walls, making for a breathtaking sight. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/65695701@N00/111889482/&quot;&gt;view&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;flickr&amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;" rel="lightbox[7799994a7d2ac952d2f0b7c965307c21]"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/36/111889482_375dfc6385_s.jpg" alt="" class="flickr_img square tag" /></a><a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/174/428077043_c096edeee4.jpg" class="flickr" title="View large for more detail. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/89985824@N00/428077043/&quot;&gt;view&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;flickr&amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;" rel="lightbox[7799994a7d2ac952d2f0b7c965307c21]"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/174/428077043_c096edeee4_s.jpg" alt="" class="flickr_img square tag" /></a><a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/45/111889479_b76ccf7603.jpg" class="flickr" title="I love the multi-colored hues and the faceted rock of the canyon walls here.

We finally reached our destination for the first day of Superior falls, at the mouth of the Montreal river, dumping into Lake Superior.  This shot is a photomerge of 3 from an overhang.  Mild adjustments done in CS4.

This one is rather boring, but more interesting photos are to come as we walked to the beach and watched the sunset over the lake. &lt;a

Another capture from the archives, from last fall&rsquo;s UP trip. Agate Falls is just down the road from Bond Falls but gets much less traffic. It&rsquo;s a bit of a scramble to make river level but worth the effort. There is an overlook above the falls if you don&rsquo;t want to make the climb down.

Agate--near Bruce Crossing on M-28--is an exceptionally pretty fall, dropping 80 feet within a few yards and tossing up a lot of spray.  Parking is across the highway at a roadside park, then a hike past a gift shop and along a short but unimproved trail; while the falls are by no means inaccessible, the walk's a little demanding.  The DSS&amp;amp;A built an ugly trestle above the falls, which now hosts a snowmobile trail and offers a fine overhead view of the falls.  (Though I'm quite enamoured of the South Shore in general, I despise this bridge.  I do recognize that many people like it better than I do.  Oh, well.)

Joan and I visited the falls in 2000; the excursion started from McLain State Park and also included Bond Falls (just a few miles up the Ontonagon from Agate) and (unexpectedly) O-Kun-De-Kun Falls, on the Baltimore River, which we'd not previously known.  I'll write that hike up some other time....

I was in a dangerous place to take this. Proof by the fact that the small wet clay ledge I took this on is no longer there. I climbed down about 20 feet on a very steep incline to this small ledge that i could just set my tripod on. Framed my shot and here you go. Just basically resized for web only. I will probably edit and post another version with a layer in it.
Packed my stuff in my backpack, turned to start climbing and my ledge broke. I slid down about 6 feet before catching a rock. Got some nasty cuts on my forearms but it was worth it to see the faces of the people on the observation platform pointing at the crazy dude clinging to a ledge to take a pic.

to say the trail down is treacherous is a bit of an understatement, but after watching a 10 year old and his father make their way down, i gained some courage, admittedly, it's a bit harder with all the camera gear...

we stoppd in the gift shop afterwards to get some iced cream, and it was delicious, the oppressive heat making it the perfect snack. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/67144852@N00/2267185317/&quot;&gt;view&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;flickr&amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;" rel="lightbox[e060779e290a02c73a085363b6e0e500]"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2072/2267185317_d737db161c_s.jpg" alt="" class="flickr_img square tag" /></a><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4100/4830967421_a83e492e8b.jpg" class="flickr" title="IMG_1240 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/37317281@N08/4830967421/&quot;&gt;view&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;flickr&amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;" rel="lightbox[e060779e290a02c73a085363b6e0e500]"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4100/4830967421_a83e492e8b_s.jpg" alt="" class="flickr_img square tag" /></a><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4135/4831582966_1d13b02dca.jpg" class="flickr" title="IMG_1253 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/37317281@N08/4831582966/&quot;&gt;view&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;flickr&amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;" rel="lightbox[e060779e290a02c73a085363b6e0e500]"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4135/4831582966_1d13b02dca_s.jpg" alt="" class="flickr_img square tag" /></a><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4145/4830968515_7c5f33de09.jpg" class="flickr" title="IMG_1250 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/37317281@N08/4830968515/&quot;&gt;view&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;flickr&amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;" rel="lightbox[e060779e290a02c73a085363b6e0e500]"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4145/4830968515_7c5f33de09_s.jpg" alt="" class="flickr_img square tag" /></a><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4132/4831583252_7d4b29501d.jpg" class="flickr" title="IMG_1255 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/37317281@N08/4831583252/&quot;&gt;view&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;flickr&amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;" rel="lightbox[e060779e290a02c73a085363b6e0e500]"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4132/4831583252_7d4b29501d_s.jpg" alt="" class="flickr_img square tag" /></a><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2240/2267185365_b9c03eb5ea.jpg" class="flickr" title="agate falls, we stopped here last year, but only stayed on the tourist friendly trail/lookout, and we weren't that impressed by the view offered.

Please respect the power and hidden dangers of             this turbulent and beautiful river. The park includes a             picnic, camping, and parking area. There are numerous             other waterfalls within the Porcupine Mountains State             Parks interior. For more information on these waterfalls             you can reach the park office at 906-885- 5275</p>
<p><strong>Directions:</strong> Just outside of Wakefield on Hwy             M28 take Cty Rd 519 North up a incline. Follow that road!             When you come to South Boundary Rd keep going straight             (This will lead you to the park). Please take your time             and enjoy the view. This road is approximately 22 miles             long.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.westernup.com/waterfalls/presquefalls/lfalls.jpg"><strong>Manabezho Falls</strong></a> - This             is a very wide beautiful waterfall with an extremely             large drop. Easily - accessible and very few steps.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.westernup.com/waterfalls/presquefalls/ufalls.jpg"><strong>Manido Falls</strong></a> - This             waterfall is a short additional walk from Manabezho             Falls. It is smaller than Manabezho Falls, but proves to             be just as wide and photogenic.</p>
<p><strong>Nawadaha Falls</strong> - This Waterfall is an             additional short walk from Manido Falls. The rapid             current will be sure to grab your attention.</p>

<p>Completed in 1928, this         unique theater was considered the finest show house in the Northwest.

The interior has been         totally restored to it&#8217;s original Italian Renaissance decor.  It is         the crown jewel of theaters in the Lake Superior region.  <em>Location:         Downtown Ironwood at 107 East Aurora Street.

<p>The continuing restoration of an early mining village includes a wealth of historical items, located in cabins depicting the early mining days.  A scenic trail along nearby  bluffs offers a view of the area&#8217;s only hydroelectric dam.  Nearby are the sites where the &#8220;Copper Boulder,&#8221; now housed in the Smithsonian Institution, was found, as well as the location of the Taylor Hydraulic Air Compressor.  This device, which is now under water, once provided ample, reliable pneumatic power to the Victoria Mines.  There is a one day craft fair on the third Sunday in August.  Open 11:30am - 5:30pm  Memorial Day weekend - mid October.  Location: From US 45 in Rockland, 4miles West on Victoria Road.  Please contact (906) 886-2617 for more information.</p>
