This is a great waterfall to see! And, a great place for fish fry is on the way to Saxon Harbor… Saxon Harbor is also a fabulous place to kayak out of, you can even go up to Superior Falls and back in a couple of hours!
The boat launch is awesome, there, too!

Good Morning!
Another Saturday calls for our Saturday Snapshot Spotlight!
You post it. We Spotlight It!

Pictured is Saxon Falls!

A little info about it from Travel Wisconsin website: https://www.travelwisconsin.com/outdoors/waterfalls/saxon-falls

*Located on the Wisconsin/Michigan border, Saxon Falls total cascade is 90 feet on the Montreal River. Only in the spring as the snow melts or after a particularly heavy summer rainfall will all three of the lower falls be running fully. The gorge below the falls is one of the deepest in the midwest.

Directions from Hurley : Travel 12.5 miles west on U.S. 2. Turn right on Hwy 122 north, traveling for approx. 2.1 miles. At County B turn right and follow 1.5 miles, then take a left at Saxon Falls Road (unpaved). Go 0.5 miles to the unpaved parking area. On foot, follow the short, wooded hiking trail to the east of the parking area, which leads to the overlook location.

After a long hike, or a day at the beach… a brownie sundae, or an amazing pizza, from Porkies Outpost NEVER disappoints!!!

Bonus - they have THE BEST black fly repellent, which can also be purchased in Wakefield at the General Store!

Not feeling gloomy over here😎

Featured Pizza is a Bacon Chicken Ranch and we have a homemade brownie sundae too! We all taste tested these two and we all LOVE them🥰
