SCENIC MAGPIE FALLS
Scenic High Falls is 75 feet high and 125 feet wide -
well worth a visit. The short walking trails which follow
the top of the falls to the park at its base also provide
signage for an informative look at the history of power
in the Michipicoten area. Location: Approximately 1.5
miles South of Wawa on Highway 17 - very well signed!
Once off the highway, a gravel road (1.5 miles) leads
to the bottom of the falls.
SILVER FALLS
Silver
Falls include three sets of falls encompassing the final
drop of the Magpie River into the Michipicoten River and
onwards to Lake Superior. From the wooden bridge on the
Sandy Beach Road you are looking at the middle falls.
Following the short trail (200 metres) starting from the
north side of the bridge will lead you to the upper falls
and a beautiful old twisted cedar tree. Below the bridge
a small trail (forming part of the Voyageur trail system)
will lead you to the lower falls. Good fishing opportunities
are in this area.
