Waterfall Safety and Common Sense

Wagner Falls (I’ve also seen it spelled Wagner’s Falls) was a small 20ft multi-tiered waterfall that we found to be pretty convenient to visit.

It sat just outside the town limits of Munising, and we only needed to walk on a short trail and boardwalk to experience it.

In fact, the lookout at the end of this short trail yielded the photo you see above.

The short excursion only took us 20 minutes in total, including the walking and picture-taking.

Perhaps the greater challenge to this excursion would be to try to both enjoy the Wagner Falls while not disturbing the tripod-wielding photographers who pretty much dominated most of the viewing real-estate.

Indeed, this waterfall seemed to be very popular with photographers thanks to its graceful strandy characteristic.

It was a good thing that this waterfall was so easy to visit because it was the last one we visited at the end of a long day of waterfall binging around Munising.

So the low light of the fading afternoon sun further made it so we needed a tripod to keep from making the photos too blurry.

Finally, our visit took place in the Autumn, which was outside the typical flow window of Spring and early Summer.

Perhaps the monsoonal Summer thunderstorms might have revived some of its flow prior to our arrival.
