O Kun De Kun Falls O Kun de Kun Falls, nestled in Michigan's picturesque Upper Peninsula, is a hidden gem of natural beauty and tranquility. Located along the Baltimore River, this 25-foot cascading waterfall offers a serene escape into the wilderness, surrounded by lush forests and rugged trails. A hike on the North Country Trail leads visitors to the falls. The area is rich in biodiversity, with native plants and wildlife adding to its allure. "O Kun de Kun" is believed to originate from the Ojibwe (Anishinaabe) language, though its exact translation isn't widely documented. Some interpretations suggest it could mean "place of the golden eagles" or "falling water," referencing the natural beauty and wildlife of the area. The name reflects the Upper Peninsula region's rich Indigenous history and cultural significance. Prints and products are available through this site or my Pixels - Fine Art America site.
