Pattison State Park-Superior-Wisconsin

We hiked Pattison State Park on October 18th, 2024.

Our hiking adventure began along the Little Manitou Falls Trail.

Little Manitou Falls

We followed the trail alongside the Black River. The river was a bit low in places.

The fallen leaves looked like a golden blanket enveloping the forest floor.

Nature provided a beautiful view as the Black River joined Interfalls Lake.

We continued along the trail, passed the beach, and under the highway until we reached Big Manitou Falls. 

Big Manitou Falls is the highest waterfall in Wisconsin.

The hike back to our starting point was filled with gorgeous fall colors. The sun shining through the trees highlighted the colorful leaves.

We stopped at Little Manitou Falls again, taking in the beautiful view.

Our hiking adventure was 4 miles.
