Tahquamenon Falls State Park is Michigan's second largest park exceeding 40,000 acres.  Tahquamenon,the land of Hiawatha, is home to one of the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi. It stands 200 feet wide and has a drop of nearly 50 feet. Four miles downstream is the Lower Falls, a series of five smaller falls cascading around an island. The Tahquamenon River, which feeds the falls, rises from springs and drains the watershed of an area of more than 820 square miles. From its source, it meanders 94 miles before emptying into Lake Superior.
