Warner Falls

GPS: 46.43333, -87.59888

Drive: 16 mi, 22 min (from downtown Marquette)

Drop: 20 ft

Warner Falls is located just outside of Palmer, 20 miles southwest of Marquette on M-35. While this waterfall can be viewed from the highway, it’s best appreciated from a closer vantage point. Park your car past the guard point (fully off of the road), and follow the signage to the trails to see this small but mighty fall among autumn’s glorious orange and gold foliage.

Directions:

Head south on Front St (0.339 mi)
At the traffic circle exit west on US-41 N (0.523 mi)
At the next traffic circle, take the third exit onto Grove St (2.21 mi)
Turn left onto Co Rd 492 (4.33 mi) → Turn left on M-35 South (8.16 mi) → Park on the right side of M-35, the falls are a short trail hike west

Old Town Negaunee

Address: Negaunee Downtown Historic District, Negaunee, MI; Between Peck St and Rail St AND Tobin St and North Teal Lake Ave)

Old Catholic Cemetery

Little more than a sign and a path in the woods now since most of the tombstones were removed in the early 1900s. However, not all the bodies were found, and neighbors have reported commotion in the area.

Address: Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery, 1400 Wright St, Marquette, MI 49855
