Marquette County
Big Pup Falls
a creek's sudden tumble through the Huron Mountains
Running alongside County Road 510 for a short time, Big Pup Falls is a set of waterfalls in a classic Huron Mountain setting. Multiple small drops over dark volcanic rock, hemmed in by mossy banks and tall trees, the upper drops on the creek makes a perfect setting for easy visits. This waterfall is on private property, so please respect the land in any posted restrictions.
Directions
Less than two miles south of County Road 510’s bridge over the Yellow Dog River there is another, smaller bridge over Big Pup Creek. Park near the bridge and head directly down to the creek. Follow the water downstream for a few hundred yards to view all of the upper falls.
To visit the larger lower falls you can either continue downstream through the brush and swamp for another mile or so or cut forward on the two-tracks.
