点评:The Tahquamenon Falls State Park is a 46,179 acre public recreation area and is the second largest of Michigan's state parks. The park borders Lake Superior and follows the Tahquamenon River as it passes over Tahquamenon Falls and drains into Whitefish Bay, Lake Superior. The Tahquamenon Falls include a single 50-foot drop, the Upper Falls, plus the cascades and rapids collectively called the Lower Falls. During the late-spring runoff, the river drains as much as 50,000 U.S. gallons of water per second, making the upper falls the second most voluminous vertical waterfall east of the Mississippi River, after only Niagara Falls (Wikipedia).
Incredibly beautiful views of nature throughout. Thought about hiking up the River Trail until we saw how rugged the terrain was to include a 2.5 hour average hike time with poison ivy along the way. See attached photo of the warning sign.

沿途自然风光美不胜收。我们原本想沿着河道徒步,但发现地形崎岖,平均徒步时间长达2.5小时,沿途还长满毒藤。请参阅附件中的警示牌照片。
