About This Trail
A 2.3-mile trail along the Wild and Scenic Black River connecting five major waterfalls, including 45-foot Rainbow Falls and 34-foot Gorge Falls, as the river drops over 200 feet in its final two miles to Lake Superior. Stairways and overlook platforms provide access to each cascade. A segment of the North Country Trail parallels the route.
