Intro: This is number
6 in the continuing series - Autumn Colors
Big Manitou Falls in Pattison
State Park is the fourth-tallest waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains,
and the tallest in the state of Wisconsin.
It is impressive at 165 feet.
Native Americans believed that they could hear the Great Spirit’s voice from the falls. The
sound is a constant “thundering” sound.
One can feel the vibrations from the pounding water both in the air and with
the earth movements as it impacts the rocks below.
There are more than eight miles of hiking trails in this
park and there is a second waterfall, Little Manitou which is thirty-one feet
high. Both falls are fed by the Black
River. The park is located about
thirteen miles south of Superior Wisconsin.
Hope you enjoyed your visit to another beautiful park in the Wisconsin park system.
