Rock Dam Falls Hiking Trail Will Reward Hikers

Among the many trails in the area is one relatively close to town. Pine Creek’s Rock Dam Falls hiking trail is located in the state forest northeast of Iron Mountain. This falls, large rock outcropping and small gorge is well worth visiting and has easy drive-up access. Bring water, especially if the temps are up there. Wear good walking shoes or boots. Here’s how to get there: From Iron Mountain, head west on U.S. 2 to M-95. On M-95 go north about four miles to Sportsmen’s Club Road. Turn east (right) and travel about two miles to Carney Lake Road (a “T”

in the road). Turn south (right) and go about one mile (you’ll go through a former gravel pit, but the road is well graded), and you’ll come to a “Y” in the road. Stay right. You will now be on a slightly rougher, curvy, hilly road (In summer this is no problem for cars.) This road is called Forest Service Road on Google Maps. Go about one mile. You’ll see a dirt lane on your left. On a large red pine is a sign that says Rock Dam. Pull into the turn-around and park. Take the path, cross over Hosking Creek wooden bridge, and Pine Creek and Rock Dam Falls are right there. You can follow the trail up the rocks going left of the creek up to the top, or you can cross two very narrow foot-bridges (a long pole is recommended) to the other side of Pine Creek and follow those trails.
