Back on April 17, 2023 we had photos of the Eagle River Falls and Ten Foot Falls. Uncle Chuck commented that day, that he bet Haven Falls in Lac La Belle is roaring as well. You’re in luck, Chuck...Marcy Bessolo Hermanson is sharing a couple shots of Haven Falls in all its glory, along with a photo of Jacob’s Falls that is running strong, too. With the spring melt and all the rain we’ve had lately, both these falls will be roaring for a time yet. So if you’re local, it may be time for a road trip to check out the falls in person.
Marcy has a bonus for us, with a video of the Tobacco River just outside of Gay, MI. Oh boy, was she ever running hard the day Marcy was there. I have a friend who always talked about kayaking down the Tobacco during the spring runoff. No thank you!

Holy smokes. Can you say road trip tomorrow? Sure hope they're running just as good. I know the little ones on M-26 are back to rushing again. Thanks, Marcy.

Outstanding. I miss being able to get out and about and play in the Spring. Summer. Fall. Winter.

Outstanding! It always amazes me the water power generated by
the falls.
J.T…. I read about the passing of Lightfoot as well it created an
emptiness in my heart. I’m a big fan of his music.

We loved Gordon Lightfoot. I'm sure Cheryl is talking about the Fitz with him. RIP, Gordon.

Holy Smokes is right Deb! The woods must really be wet with the snow melt!! Really nice looking Falls and video, thanks for sharing Marcy & Mary!! I hope the rain and melt is displacing anyone and that everyone is safe!! Can't remember when I've seen either, Haven or the Tobacco run like that!!
C'mon Mary, I'll kayak the Tobacco with you!! :=))
Time to get the smelt dipping nets out and the fryer and lemon & tartar sauce !!

Hi I also enjoyed Gordon Lightfoot's music; sad news that he passed.
The video of the river in flood, roaring and rushing in the sunshine, was pure exuberance.
