Agate Falls Scenic Site

Agate Falls Scenic Site

The Agate Falls Scenic Site is a waterfall and state park located in southeastern Ontonagon County, Michigan. The waterfall is 7 miles (11 km) southeast of Bruce Crossing, Michigan on the state highway M-28.

Agate Falls is a 39-foot-high (12 m) waterfall of the Ontonagon River. Dropping down from the highlands of the western Upper Peninsula, this river drops 875 feet (267 m) from the Bond Falls Flowage to Lake Superior, and Agate Falls is part of this change in elevation. The waterfall is dominated by a shelf of erosion-resistant sandstone.cite book

The falls can be seen from a trail accessible from a parking lot on M-28. A hiking bridge, which once carried a Soo Line railroad right-of-way, spans the falls.
