RV rental Tahquamenon Falls State Park, MI: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

As one of Michigan’s largest state parks, there is plenty to see and do in the vast Tahquamenon Falls State Park. No matter what time of year you happen to be camping with an RV here there are plenty of activities all year round. Visit during spring and summer for the best hiking and canoeing opportunities, or during winter for cross country skiing and snowmobiling. The Tahquamenon Falls themselves are made up of two different sections, the Upper and Lower Falls, both which offer different recreational opportunities. The Upper Falls are undoubtedly the most popular spot in the park. Spanning nearly 200 feet in width and with a drop of nearly 50 feet, this magnificent waterfall churns over 50,000 gallons of water every second! It truly is a magnificent site. Due to the fierce nature of the waterfall, no swimming or boating activities are allowed in this area. Instead, consider taking one of the many hiking trails that offer views of the falls from different angles. The most direct path starts from the visitor’s center, winds through the dense forest, descends 94 steps into the valley and arrives at a stunning viewing platform. Head around four miles downstream, and you will find Lower Falls, a series of five smaller falls that cascade around an island. The falls here flow much more gently, making it a much safer location to rent a kayak or play in the shallow waters. For those who enjoy an adventure, why not spend the day kayaking the 17-miles from the Lower Falls to the beautiful Lake Superior. If you are short for time, consider doing the North Country Trail, a four-mile long path that connects both falls. Passing through old-growth forest, huge cedar trees, and past vibrant wildflowers during spring, this is one of the most scenic trails in the park. Conveniently, there is a shuttle bus that operates during high season that picks hikers up at the end, to save the four-mile trek back. Whilst on the trail keep a look out for some of the incredible wildlife in the area. Moose and white-tailed deer are often seen wandering through the park, whilst bald eagles nest high in the trees.
