Tahquamenon Falls State Park is located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan west of Paradise along M123. It is the second largest state park in Michigan after Porcupine Mountain State Park. The heart of the park is the Tahquamenon River and the two sets of falls. Tannin leached from the surrounding cedar swamps give the river a brown color.

The two sets of falls are the Upper Falls, pictured here, and the Lower Falls, about 4 miles downriver. The Upper Falls have a drop of about 48 feet and during spring runoff can have a volume of 50,000 gallons a second. This makes it the third largest waterfall, by volume, east of the Mississippi in the United States.
