Reviews

Houghton Falls is a beautiful trail along sandstone gorges and flowing waterfalls, culminating into a small inlet on Lake Superior with stunning vistas looking out over the water.

The views alone are well worth the walk.

This was a beautiful quick easy walk/hike.  The falls are small but the scenery and rock formations is so worth the walk in the woods.

A bit off the beaten path but worth stopping.  This spot is not called out with a conventional brown park sign but heading down Houghton Falls road is definitely worth the trip.  The hike is quite manageable with only minor elevation changes.  The creek that you follow starts as a trickle and slowly grows until you reach Lake Superior.  Bring water shoes and/or your trunks because there are chance to get in the water towards the end.  Very scenic in spots and easy for seniors and children to navigate.

Beautiful views, but the natural beauty is being heavily impacted by visitors not staying on the trails in the gorge. Loss of plant life in those areas.

Great park hidden away on a side road! Do not follow Google maps directions as it will lead you to a private road. The park is beautiful. Can be easy if you stay on the path, but the real adventure is found when you climb down into the river bed! Beautiful pictures to be taken!
