Awesome little hike off the side of the road. If you start the hike at the sign and head down to the overlook, you can have a beautiful site of the falls. If you're more adventurous, then take the path to the right of the overlook, and you can walk up to and over the falls. There is some erosion, so be careful as you cross. If you continue across the falls, there is a path that you can take to follow the creek and eventually get down to the creek bed and check out the area. It has a very fantasy world feeling going on, so I highly recommend it to those of you who like that.Now, there was a path to the left of the overlook, but I did not go down that way. I did see little children down there at the base of the falls, so I assume that the left path may have been the easier way down, but move at your own pace and discretion. Otherwise, a nice fun and short path.

One of closest falls to Copper Harbor, WI. Pull off alongside road. Fairly easy access to viewing area. Would recommend hiking poles for those not sure footed. Very scenic when we were last there. Highly recommend...less than 5 mins drive from downtown.

Manganese Falls is a series of small torrents dropping Manganese Creek down to Lake Fanny Hope s level (I think). The access right by the sign isn t very good as the foliage blocks most of the view. A few steps upstream along the road and you ll find a better, but not a good view.

Hike down is very short, but steep. There is a railing and sinage indicating steep cliff/ drop off. The falls are beautiful, but can be difficult to see in summer due to the trees and foliage. I would recommend that if you want good photography options to visit is spring or fall when the foliage is less obtrusive to the view of the waterfall.

Love it! Beautiful views and fun hiking trails surround Maganese Falls. We saw lots of fish and even a snapping turtle. Well worth the drive.

Nice stop when visiting Copper Harbor (which I would recommend). The falls are close to the road with a short, but considerably down hill, trail to the overlook. The falls were flowing beautifully when we visited. Be aware that the view from the lookout is partially obstructed by the forest. If small kids are traveling with you, be careful. Don t let them run ahead. The overlook is small and partially unprotected.

The falls are in a location where there isn't nearby parking unless you pull off to the side of a narrow road. When you do get out you cannot really see them from the platform. It's blocked by trees. But you can see them and get a glimpse behind the rustling leaves. I am sure if you were to hike a bit down you would see them.

This is a very short hike, for a pretty fun view of a really tall, yet skinny waterfall. DO NOT take your dogs to this one (or small children). There are many unstable cliff edges in this area, and to get a good view of the falls, you have to walk across some sketchy areas. You park right on the side of the road and walk into the woods and there it is! There are many signs reminding you of the dangerous cliffs here! Just be careful!

Simply put, there's not much to see here. It's difficult to view the waterfall. The overlook area is also quite dangerous, as there is a steep drop off without any fence or rail. If you're looking for a good waterfall in the area, we recommend Montreal Falls instead.See our full review of Copper Harbor at YouTube: Mancl Adventures: Best things to do in Copper Harbor MI.

Located in Copper Harbor in the Keweenaw peninsula. I went right down into the gorge to check these fall out personally. There is two more smaller falls which you wouldn't see do to the cliff walls. A good pair of tennis shoes or hiker's are more then adequate for this adventure.

Simple little wooded area with small falls and a nice, relaxing trail. Recommended short stop while heading into or outta Copper Harbor.

The falls were pretty but not the best viewing points ( at least from what I found). Also could be dangerous for small children or older folk.

Beautiful waterfall just off the side of the road. Walk up past the waterfall & there are more smaller ones.

Fairly nice little waterfall, if you happen to be in the area. A short stop. Not very far from the road. Nicer waterfalls exist in the UP though.

We hiked down Into the water to get this picture but it was worth it. There are a lot of smaller and larger falls in the area. Getting there is a bit confusing. If you are coming in from town turn left on the two track before you get to where the gps is taking you. It will bring you to a small lot right next to the falls. Much easier to see it from there.

It is indeed a waterfall, but it's small.If you are in Copper Harbor it's a quick visit. I would recommend making the short trip to the falls.The walk is SHORT, like 3 min tops. No need to bring water or hiking packs. North of the proper signage is a better view of the falls.I'd imagine at other times of the year the falls are more intense, we visited in June
