The Great Outdoors

This is everywhere to be appreciated and enjoyed every season of the year, and with Presque Isle’s proximity to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, the options to explore nature’s beauty are endless. Enormous Lake Superior, famed Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park and many outstanding waterfalls are just a short drive away. To reach the Black River Parkway Falls, go north on M-64 or Hwy O to Hwy 2, then west to Bessemer. In Bessemer, turn north on County 513. Follow signs to Copper Peak and Black River Harbor. After passing Copper Peak look for signs to falls. Falls will be on the right. Two beautiful falls near Watersmeet are

Bond Falls and Agate Falls. For Bond Falls, take Hwy 45 to the town of Paulding. Go 2.5 miles east on Bond Falls Road. Agate Falls can be reached by taking Hwy 45 from Watersmeet to Old 45 one mile. Stop at Bluff Creek and walk creek on south and west side.

Numerous other waterfalls are waiting to be enjoyed, including nearly 90 in Porcupine Mountains State Park. Please see the Chamber for more information.
