Ogemaw Falls

scenic little drop on Baraga Plains

Located near the old prison camp on Baraga Plains, Ogemaw Falls is a picturesque drop not far from US-41. The creek empties out a small pond south of Baraga Plains Road before pouring over volcanic rock to form a cascading plunge and long slide down a pillow of rock. The walk is short and easy enough for most people to enjoy.

Directions

Take Barage Plains Road west from US-41 for 3.5 miles. Park directly after the pond on the left side of the road. Follow the road back until you find the culvert emptying the pond under the road and follow this creek downstream to the falls. East side of the creek is easier to follow than the west.
