Northwest Wisconsin Waterfall Tour

Last spring, we went on a day-long “waterfall tour” in northwest Wisconsin. The route I created ended up being about 75 miles long and brought us to seven different waterfalls (Gile Falls, Upson Falls, Copper + Brownstone Falls, Potato River Falls, Superior Falls, and Interstate Falls). I really enjoyed this day and wanted to share it with you in case you’d like to recreate it!

Below I’ve listed each waterfall in the tour; simply click the [+] button to expand the info. I’ve completed the individual blog posts for Gile, Upson, and Copper Falls and will be finishing the rest soon.

You’ll also find a Google map at the end of the post showing our complete route!

Waterfall #1: Gile Falls

A cute waterfall in Gile, Wisconsin. This was our first stop on the tour.

Waterfall #2: Upson Falls

Located in the Upson Falls Campground. This was our second stop.

Waterfall #3 & #4: Copper Falls + Brownstone Falls

Two impressive waterfalls within Copper Falls State Park. Honestly, I’m not 100% sure which one is Copper Falls and which one is Brownstone Falls.

Waterfall #5: Potato River Falls

There’s both an Upper and a Lower Potato Falls. I believe the one pictured here is the Lower.

Blog post & photos coming soon!

Waterfall #6: Superior Falls

Right next to Lake Superior!

Blog post & photos coming soon!

Waterfall #7: Interstate Falls

Tucked back in the woods.

Blog post & photos coming soon!
