As you get out and hike this or any of our segments, please contact the trail adopter or Cliff Stammer (906-228-9897 / cnstammer@charter.net) with reports of trail conditions, including blow-downs, washouts, and inadequate blazing. As you pass the Rock River Falls Spur in the Rock River Wilderness, please consider taking the 1.2 mile spur down to the falls. It is a very delightful waterfall in a secluded wilderness setting. Waterproof boots and trekking poles help at a few damp spots. Since this trail is in a designated wilderness area, no trail markings are present but the trail is well worn and easily followed. Rock River Falls is described in detail in Eric Hansen’s Hiking Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, pp. 109-111 and also, in Michigan Waterfalls by Laurie, Bill and Ruth Penrose, pp. 19-20.
