Canyon Falls and Gorge is located off US-41 south of the U.P. town of L’anse.
Perhaps you've read our previous piece about the stunning canyon that makes this destination so unique. But did you know that the hike in itself is amazing?
The hike along Canyon Gorge Trail stretches for approximately four miles out-and-back, so it’s the perfect destination for an Upper Peninsula day trip.
While the scenery here is overwhelmingly gorgeous, the trail is suitable for hikers of all ages and athletic abilities — including the youngest members of your family!
Marvel at waterfalls along the riverfront during your walk, and be sure to stop for a photo-op or two. This is easily one of the area’s most photogenic locales.
