- Pattison State Park
Pattison State Park is located just south of the city of Superior, Wisconsin, off of WI-35. Further north is the city of Duluth, Minnesota, which is a port city on Lake Superior. This state park is a unique place to visit because it is home to one of the largest waterfalls east of the Rocky Mountains, Big Manitou Falls. The 165-foot falls are only one of the highlights that you can enjoy at the 1,436-acre park. Also, since there is abundant water in this region, there is a lot of wildlife that live in the area as well. Nearby cities include Superior and Poplar.
