- Amnicon Falls State Park
Amnicon Falls State Park sits on a geologically significant fault line called the Douglas Fault. Though the Amnicon River is only 46 miles long, it cuts through both sides of the fault, making an exciting set of waterfalls and rapids where visitors can observe the differences. While the upper falls bounce across basalt, an igneous rock formed by lava flows, the lower waterfall cuts through sandstone, a sedimentary rock once at the bottom of an ocean or lake. Both waterfalls are inside the boundaries of 825-acre Amnicon Falls State Park near the furthest northern point of Wisconsin. Established in 1961, most of this park is covered with second-growth forest as the site was harvested in the late 1800s to construct many of Duluth and Superior, WI, structures. This park's rustic nature, covered bridge, and delightful waterfalls attract visitors from as far away as Minneapolis, MN.

Inside Amnicon Falls State Park
Since Amnicon Falls State Park is open year round, the park offers an extensive range of activities. In the spring, when the angling season opens, many visitors come to the park to test their luck in the cold, freshwater stream. During the summer, the 1.8 miles of hiking and biking trails are filled with children and parents seeking the waterfalls' secrets. In the fall, hunting and trapping seasons open, and many hikers are seen with their equipment as they seek an elusive deer or to trap an animal.
