Make A Splash This Season At Scott Falls, A Truly Unique Waterfall Swimming Hole In Michigan

The view of the water cascading over the rocks can make almost any waterfall a striking sight. A unique perspective distinguishes Scott Falls in the Upper Peninsula. How many waterfalls can be seen from behind the waterfall curtain? That's possible at Scott Falls, where a cave makes it possible to get a different view as the water splashes into a small pool about 10 feet below the sandstone cliff. And the best part is, Scott Falls is also a waterfall swimming hole in Michigan, too!

The spring runoff creates the most volume of water at Scott Falls, where the flow slows considerably in the summer.

Imagine being able to sit and watch the water cascade into the pool from behind. That's what distinguishes Scott Falls.

The varied colors of the sandstone and other elements in the rocks help make Scott Falls a cool sight.

Autumn comes early in the Upper Peninsula, and the changing colors nicely frame Scott Falls.

The lighting of the late afternoon adds another dimension to Scott Falls.

As with many waterfalls, just a slightly different angle of Scott Falls gives it a new perspective.

Scott Falls has been described as the most accessible waterfall in Michigan, a state that is known for such features. Scott Falls is on M-28 near the town of Au Train, right across the road from the H.J. Rathfoot State Roadside Park, about seven miles from Munising in the Lake Superior area.

For those who want to create a reward at the end of a hike, though, there's also an option to park in Au Train and take a 1.1-mile trail to Scott Falls. Either way, it's a delightful adventure!
