Marinette County Waterfall Guide — All 15 Waterfalls, One Weekend

Perfect for Your Summer Adventure!

Wisconsin’s Waterfall Capital is waiting, and this is the guide that actually gets you there.

Marinette County has 15 stunning waterfalls tucked into the Northwoods, just a few hours from Madison, Milwaukee, and Green Bay. Most people drive past them their whole lives without knowing they exist. This guide changes that. We have done this trip more times than we can count — with friends, with kids, with dogs, and solo. We built this guide because when we first went, nothing existed that actually told us where to go, in what order, how long it would take, or what to do when our phones died. Now you have everything we wish we had.

What’s inside:

• A complete Thursday–Sunday loop starting from Goodman County Park
• All 15 waterfalls with GPS coordinates, walk distances, and difficulty ratings
• A full color-coded loop map with waterfall icons — printable, works offline
• Drive times between every stop
• Friday: 5 waterfalls. Saturday: 7 waterfalls. Sunday: 3 waterfalls and head home
• 5 places to stay — from $15/night camping to cabins that sleep 8
• 5 local restaurants, including our personal favorites
• Dog rules — where they can and cannot go (plus the one dog beach)
• County park pass info — how to buy before you lose cell signal
• A complete pack list so nothing gets forgotten

This trip is for you if:

• You have never camped in Northern Wisconsin and do not know where to start
• You want to disconnect completely — no passport, no crowds, no cell signal
• You are a solo traveler looking for solitude and stunning scenery
• You have kids and need short, easy walks with playgrounds and campfire rings
• You want an affordable weekend that feels like a real adventure

No passport required. Camp from $15/night. Day pass $5/car.
