Very close to Munising (few minutes south). Scenic cascading falls. Main lower area with lookout can be busy at times. Expect many people will climb hillside to pose on fallen tree trunks over falls or just in front of falls. For those wanting a little quieter and don't mind making their way past this spot - there are 2 more levels of Falls above that look very similar. Went in early August and water levels were not an issue ( not too low for photos and not too high of flow which made walking around the levels manageable- little muddy in spots beyond main viewing deck.

Came here today, to Wagner Falls Wed, Aug 31st. There's 1 handicapped parking spot (I don't use these, just noting it). I'm a couch potato, but we asked the people walking towards us how the walk was and they said it was pretty easy (they just got new knees!). It was pretty easy, and there were only 8 steps, well built! NOTE: if I remember correctly... Many of the boards we walked on, were squishy/springy , so if someone is visually challenged (be aware of that) or could fix that, that'd be great! Lots of great parking! NO BATHROOM! Check out all my photos.

What a great and easy waterfall to access. It's no more than a 5 minute guided path walk complete with deck and stairs right up to the waterfall. Definitely worth the stop. Now with that said this place has another even bigger unnoticeable waterfall behind it. It is a tad harder to navigate to and does take a little 10 minute up hill steep hike behind it to even realize it's there. Shhh, our little secret...lol. However this waterfall trek is not on a guided trail and is for the more comfortable hiker so proceed with caution; very soft ground.

Wagner falls is one of the best waterfalls in the area! The walk to the waterfall is at a slight incline, but the path is very well kept and easy to walk. It is even wheelchair accessible! The parking lot is small and you will miss it if you blink, so make sure you're keeping an eye out! The falls also have a mini waterfall about 500ft before it, which is also beautiful. There is a bench at the lookout point so you can sit and enjoy the falls for as long as you like! I will definitely visit these falls again when I'm in the area.

This place never disappoints. We have been in all seasons and there is always something new to see! I think winter is my favorite time to visit. Be careful when parking in the winter. Sometimes they slightly plow the parking lot, and sometimes you have to park on the side of the road. In winter I suggest yak Trax for your boots, as the trail can be slippery. The hike back to these falls is very easy. About 1/4 mile and only a few stairs at the end. If you are in the area, visit these falls!

It was nice. It's just a short walk from where you park. The parking area isn't very big but when I was there only 4 cars were in the lot. A couple of trees have fallen against the falls so if you looked at pictures of it it probably looks different now. Hopefully they move the trees because I think it would look much better without them. I didn't see any restrooms there either.
