Joel Dinda's photos with the keyword: ocqueoc falls

This photographer was working harder at his craft than I was. Hope he got some good pix.

A photo with youngsters to give you a sense of scale. This is a small waterfall. One of the things we learned from Thursday's visit to Ocqueoc was that there's a trail along the river. So on Saturday, with better weather. we returned to the Falls and went for a short hike. The little park at the falls was just loaded with people on Saturday. We encountered several who'd come fairly long distances just to see the fall; all expressed disappointment.

It rained on Thursday, so we mostly hid in the camper and read. Eventually we got bored.... Joan suggested we find Ocqueoc Falls, which (as perhaps you know) is the biggest/highest/only waterfall in the Lower Peninsula. My expectations were low, so I wasn't disappointed in the fall (at 3 or 4 feet it's basically the tallest drop in a rapids). That said, there's a great park and the scenery's just terrific. Well worth a visit if you're in the area; not worth a long trip if it's your main destination.
