Douglas Houghton Falls, Laurium

Douglass Houghton Falls is Michigan's tallest waterfall at 110 feet from the top where Hammell Creek cascades to its base. It is located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula between Laurium and Lake Linden just off Highway M-26. Prior to 2018, the waterfall was privately owned and access to the waterfall was restricted due to its dangerous geological makeup. The waterfall is situated in a deep gorge that is flanked by sharp loose rock. Multiple deaths have been reported at this location; the most recent one was in September 2011. Douglass Houghton, for whom Douglass Houghton Falls is named, was Michigan's first geologist. ()
