Three falls sit within range of Chetek's chain of lakes. Big Falls earns the visit, a half-mile walk to water you can get right into and swim, dog splashing along beside you. Pipestone Falls takes a mile of easy trail. Bellile Falls exists on the map and that is about all anyone has recorded. Locals tend to fold a waterfall stop into a lake day rather than build the whole outing around one.
