The Tahquamenon Falls are two sets of waterfalls on the Tahquamenon River. Both sets are located within Luce County in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
The upper falls is one of the largest falls east of the Mississippi River, more than 200 feet across and with a drop of 50 feet.
The lower falls, located four miles downstream, are a series of five smaller falls cascading around an island.
The falls are within the Tahquamenon Falls State Park, between Newberry, Michigan, and Paradise, Michigan.
The Tahquamenon is noted as being the land of Longfellow's The Song of Hiawatha - "by the rushing Tahquamenaw" where Hiawatha built his canoe.
