Iron River sits square in the western Upper Peninsula's best waterfall country, with sixty-three falls inside fifty miles. Chicagon Falls makes the closest trip, a mile of gentle trail round trip, dog friendly. Tibbets Falls runs a mile and a half. Upper East Tumbo River Falls climbs about 200 feet over its mile if a grade sounds good. Short forest paths off gravel roads account for most of the rest, so one weekend of driving covers a good share of the list.
