Boat Attendant (MI)
Tahquamenon Falls State Park is known as both the largest waterfalls on the Tahquamenon River in Michigan, as well as the eastern half of North America. This spectacular series of cascading waterfalls engulfs an island and eventually merges into Lake Superior. Breathtaking views can be captured from the riverbank, from one of our rented boats, or from the newly designed walk bridge that leads over to the island.
Michigan Falls Hospitality offers a retail gift and campground store as well as boats for daily rental. The park welcomes over 500,000 visitors each year.
