Didn't see many ladders. The park is really beautiful. Great view of the town from the top. Bring some water and...

This waterfront scenic area with a campground & hiking trails also allows hunting & fishing.

A 100-acre natural area known for its trail system used for hiking, cycling, skiing & snowshoeing.

👍👍 Cool rocks, easy access 😎 amazing view.

👍 We had a hard time finding the trail. We parked down a little gravel road. There was a path but it was an incline the entire way. Park by these posts at the top of the hill on Golf Course Rd if you want to avoid the steep rutted path BUT there were a few waterfalls along the way to the main one.

👍👍 Nice little park off the beaten path! Takes a couple miles down a gravel road to get there. Some parts are great, some parts are pretty washed out. But the park has many picnic tables and places to charcoal cook! As well as pit toliets. Peaceful and tranquil!

This circa-1900 theater showcases plays, concerts & more in an elegant, vintage space with murals.

👍 Nice waterfront skatepark that is in good condition. We spent about an hour here and my son had a good time.

👍👍 Incredible trails. Rocks on the beach are unmatched. I got lucky enough to have the whole shoreline to myself in early June. Don’t pass this place up!

👍👍 Beach, Play Area, Tables, Grill, Outhouse, Lake Superior view== superior lake view. Be careful after a rainfall..in 2020 some nonlocal (as am I) tourists were swept into the Lake by the tiny creek, were caught up in the swirl, and drown. No Lifeguard On Duty.

👍👍 A great area the ice is good. But it is cold so dress warm .

👍👍 Beautiful set of falls…middle falls is an easy hike and very stunning. If you have the stamina and adventurous spirit, make sure you hike down to the lower falls…very hard hike but %100 worth the effort
