Geocache Description:


Cold Cache Crew 2026 presents...

Frozen Waterfalls - Houghton-Douglass Falls

Located in Houghton County, Houghton-Douglass Falls (also called Douglass Houghton Falls), is Michigan's tallest waterfall (110 ft) in the Upper Peninsula, showcasing its dramatic plunge into a deep gorge, often split by a rock spike. It can be viewed from above featuring new bridges, and from below via steep - sometimes roped - trails, highlighting its beauty but also its dangerous, eroding cliffs. It is currently closed during construction of a veterans' memorial scenic site.
