Tahquamenon Falls State Park follows the Tahquamenon River as it passes over Tahquamenon Falls and empties into Whitefish Bay, Lake Superior. Tahquamenon Falls includes a single 50-foot (15 m) drop, the Upper Falls, in addition to the cascades and rapids collectively called the Lower Falls. During late spring runoff, the river drains up to 50,000 US gallons (190,000 L) of water per second, making the Upper Falls the second-largest vertical waterfall east of the Mississippi River, after only the Falls of Niagara.
