78 Michigan Parks: Wagner Falls #Bonus 3

 Stop 5. [Begin day 2]

The first order of business was securing breakfast and lunch items.  Our first stop after that was Wagner Falls.  They did not have a picnic area, so we had to wait one more stop before assembling lunch.

Wagner falls is, if not in, very close to being in Munising!

You could hear the babbling water almost immediately upon entering the forest.

Wow! Are those the falls? Not yet...

Oh, what about those? Also pretty, but no.

Those? Nope.

Getting so close!

Found the Falls!  And they were pretty!

The people who were just ahead of us were staging and taking tons of photos, so they very sweetly let us hop in front for a stellar shot or two.  In all honesty, I would have waited a bit for them to finish, so that we could have taken individual pictures here too, but that felt awkward after they let us go first.

To be fair, they were still taking pictures even after we managed a few dozen shots not at the falls, and by then there were more people coming, so maybe it was best that we didn't try to wait.

It was a short, shady walk, through beautiful forest, so it gets my full recommendation!
