As shown in the above map, the two RV Gypsies parked in the parking lot shown on the map above, then hiked to NAWADHA FALLS (this page), Manido Falls (page 2) , and Manabezho Falls (page 3), then walked the trail along the Presque Isle River, crossed the suspension bridge, and walked the Lake Superior Trail all the way to Lake Superior, where they relaxed and cooled down in the very cold Lake Superior. (page 4). |

Nawadaha Falls is a waterfall on the Presque Isle River and is located in the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park in Gogebic County, Michigan. The falls has a drop of 15 feet and a crest of 50 to150 feet. It is above both Manido Falls and Manabezho Falls. Nawadaha Falls is the most scenic of the three waterfalls. Access to this waterfall was easy; mostly on a boardwalk. |

This is a low, wide waterfall. Its width varies greatly depending on the water levels. Nawadaha Falls is similar to, but a little higher than Manido Falls. |

To get closer to Nawadaha Falls, the two RV Gypsies had to climb down the layered ledge. It was not too difficult, but the two RV Gypsies were extra cautious as they slowly and carefully made their way down to the falls. |

As stated above, the width of this waterfall varies. Sometimes the area where the two RV Gypsies are standing is also covered with flowing water. |
