<b>Agate Falls Scenic Site</b><br><br><br><IMG SRC="http://www.michigandnr.com/images/RecreationCamping/parkphotos/agatefalls.gif"><br><br><b>Location</b><br> Agate Falls is just a few minutes walk from the MDOT maintained, Joseph Oravec roadside park on M-28, four miles west of Trout Creek, Michigan.<br><br><br>Considered by many to be one of upper Michigan's most picturesque waterfalls, Agate Falls is located on the middle branch of the Ontonagon River. The falls are created as the river finds its way over a extended shelf of terraced sandstone. The resulting waterfall is a broad band of interlacing cascades and small falls nearly 40 feet high. Access to view the falls is via an improved, accessible ΒΌ mile foot trail. Parking, water, toilets and picnic tables are available at the park, which is generally open from early May through late October. <br><br>Phone Number: (906) 842-3341<br>TTY Number: (517) 335-4623<br>Permit Required: Yes<br>Approximate Size: 213 (Acres)<br><br><br><br><A HREF="http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/MESS6438/" target="_new">http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/MESS6438/</A> <br>For Kids Sake <br>Recycle your old Equipment<br>Dave
