Chapel Falls — Local services in Munising Township

Very scenic, beautiful area to hike. 1.6 miles to falls; 1.6 back out. Trail is very well maintained in all areas except one set of steps. 168 foot elevation gain in an easy ascent. A couple spots are muddy for July but not slippery and were easily side-stepped. Falls views had a little tree blockage in the field of vision. As many reviews on various platforms have stated, bug repellent is a must, and coming early is the way to go if you want to get an actual parking spot.

Bathrooms on site...

From Chapel basin parking lot, we took the unpaved trail through the forest towards Chapel Falls. There is a sign board. It took us 25-30 mins one way to reach to the waterfall but it was all worth it. The waterfall drops from a sandstone cliff at a height of around 55-60 feet and merges into the Chapel Lake. The view of the waterfall was impressive. There is also a second observation platform at a few feet distance with another beautiful view of the waterfall. During fall the view is absolutely gorgeous. Overall hike was moderate. There was one stage that required some uphill hike otherwise it was...
