Before you go

Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Michigan DNR (Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Manido Falls drops about 15 feet. That makes it the 632nd-tallest documented waterfall in this inventory, taller than roughly 7% of the falls listed here. Height comes from published land-manager and survey records, not from our own measurement.

The Presque Isle River Waterfalls Loop reaches it about 2.3 miles (loop), rated moderate. The nearest town is Wakefield. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with Michigan DNR (Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park) for closures and current conditions.

Spring snowmelt and after rain. Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
