Fumee Falls in Norway, Michigan

ByWebmaster On

My friend and I stopped at Fumee Falls and Piers Gorge on the way to Grow Maxx in Iron Mountain.

Fumee Falls is a road side waterfall on US 2 about 6 miles east of Iron Mountain, Michigan. There is a small wayside for visitors, featuring restrooms and a water pump.

This falls has three drops. The main drop is about 10 feet high. Above that are two smaller drops. In 2004 they added a staircase and boardwalk to take you to the top of the main drop.

Fumee Creek flows south into the Menominee River which flows into Lake Michigan, forming part of the Michigan/Wisconsin border.

Piers Gorge in Norway Township, Michigan Summer 2018

My roommate wanted to buy a guitar in Iron Mountain, so we took a family road trip with his girlfriend and the kids. They had never been to Piers Gorge before, so of course we had to stop and check it out. I’ve been here several times since I moved in 2014, and it’s one of my favorite spots to hike.

Piers Gorge is a massive gorge that has been formed by the Menominee River. It gets its name from the drops that look like “piers” as they fall over rock ledges.  These create four sets of rapids. The biggest of the drops is about 8′ high and is named Mishicot Falls. Piers Gorge is the deepest whitewater gorge in the Midwest

Piers Gorge Road is located in Norway Township, Michigan in the Upper Peninsula.
