O Kun De Kun Falls




This particular location is a good day trip from MTU. The surrounding area also houses Bond Falls, Agate Falls, and several others. When I went here it was early spring and the river was quite full of snow melt. This did make the falls impressive, but it limited access to a cave that goes behind the falls. A visit in the late spring, fall or summer might allow for better access to this cave. There are actually two layers of falls, and the lower falls, which are further down the trail have the cave behind them. There is a nice wooden bridge along the path down by those falls which offers a good view.
