Wisconsin Waterfalls

Several years ago, I came across a map showing “all” of the waterfalls in Wisconsin – a simple PNG file with an accompanying table listing 90 or so dots in Wisconsin. I attended college in Marinette County and knew that there were several close by, but after seeing that map, I decided to visit all of the listed falls. While you can still find the map online, the accompanying table has been lost to the depths of the internet, and I haven’t been able to find a similarly detailed list online of Wisconsin’s waterfalls.

As for visiting all 90, children and moving to Illinois in 2008 derailed those plans; however, each time that we plan a trip we ask the question “are there waterfalls nearby? And as I visit and photograph each waterfall, it gets added to the map above. (Each segment of thumbnail photos below represents a different state.)

Which of course, brings up the question “What would you consider a ‘waterfall’?” I have included everything from rapids where the water falls to completely artificial waterfalls over manmade damns. I’ve also included a guide to identify the “nature” of the waterfall: (A) – Artificial, not only was the waterfall manmade, but it uses artificial means to move the water up in order to come down. (M) – Manmade, while the water flowing over is from a naturally occurring stream or pond, the fall itself is over a manmade barrier or the stream was redirected to create the waterfall. (N) – Natural, as near as I can tell from research or observation, the waterfall is largely created by a stream’s path and natural erosion.

Lastly, Bob Schneider of Waterfalls Wisconsin lists more than 600 locations on his website and most of them are listed in his guide. From my searching, he has by far the most extensive list around for Wisconsin.
