Bob Gilreath and his wife Liz made a trip to the Black River, just north of Bessmer last week and took in a couple waterfalls on the river there. That’s Liz on the way down the steps in the first photo... I wonder if they counted how many there were? The second photo is a small falls and you can see there is just a dab of color in the leaves around and in the water, but not too much there at that point. I’m guessing by this week, the colors may have popped there a bit more.

The video Bob made surprised me with the amount of water at the falls. I suppose it’s running well, because of the rainy weather we’ve been having last week and early this week. Sure do love the sound of the water rushing by... make sure you turn up your volume, so you get the full effect, too.

Great time of the year to be there. Cooler temps, autumn colours, and no bugs!!! ;-)

You are so right Capt. I did a water fall tour that included this Black River area plus the Huron River/Mt Arvon area in 2017. 2017 Fall Falls Tour

I have to say though that after even a light rain it was VERY muggy and slippery. I did not count the steps but there were a LOT causing me to really take my time.

I absolutely love the black river area. It's
so beautiful. So many different waterfalls to
explore.
It is cold here today. Feels like winter, not
fall. The leaves are falling off of the trees
before they turn color. I here when that
happens. Thank goodness for pasty and all of
the U.P. groups on Facebook. So many pretty
pictures to see.

Love it...been there several times. Thanks, Bob for the memories.

Black River Harbor campground was always our favorite camping area before we retired to the U.P.
Actually about our favorite in the whole country!
Bessemer a nice town.

Gormfrog, agreed. At one time, we thought about
retiring in Bessemer. Love that town.

Deb,
We thought the same thing. Made an offer on a house on the roads from Bessemer to the harbor, but after quite some time they got a better offer. Wish the nice grocery store in town had not closed, was used a lot while in the area.
