A Quick Detour Is All It Takes To Access One Of Wisconsin’s Most Picturesque Waterfalls        

We’ve all been advised not to chase waterfalls, but nobody ever said anything about driving right up to them. Waterfalls with such easy access may seem too good to be true, but they do exist – and Wequiock Falls is one of them. Situated just a short distance from the road, it couldn’t be easier to reach, making it a great visit for all ages. Take a look:

Practically hiding in plain sight, Wequiock Falls is located right off of Bay Settlement Road in Green Bay.

The creek’s flow also determines the size of the pool beneath the fall, which is sometimes deep enough to splash around in.
