Agate Falls
Ontonagon River
Ontonagon County
Michigan
Agate Falls plunges 39 feet down the rugged landscape of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where the Middle Branch of the Ontonagon River carves its way from the Bond Falls Flowage toward the vast expanse of Lake Superior. Along its journey, the river drops an astonishing 875 feet, with Agate Falls marking one of the most dramatic descents. Here, the river cascades over a resilient sandstone shelf, a natural stage where the power of water meets ancient rock—a scene that captures the wild beauty of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
