Middle Falls is a 5-foot cascade waterfall on the Salmon Trout River in Marquette County, Michigan, inside the private Huron Mountain Club property.
The falls
The World Waterfall Database gives the total height as about 5 feet in one drop; a separate figure puts it at about 25 feet. American Whitewater maps the falls 4.35 miles into the Salmon Trout River reach and identifies it as a waterfall or large drop. The river here runs through the Northern Lakes and Forests ecoregion, where rivers step down over ancient bedrock ledges with dark, tannin-stained water.
Getting there
Middle Falls lies within roughly 19,000 acres owned by the Huron Mountain Club, which strictly controls access and enforces against trespass. Blind 35 Road approaches the river near the falls, but that area is off-limits on club property. No legal public trailhead, parking or route to Middle Falls is documented.
History and name
A 1963 University of Michigan herbarium record lists the locality as Middle Falls on the Salmon-Trout River within the Huron Mountain Club, confirming the name and place used since at least that year.
