| Rainbow Falls in the Ottawa Forest |
Rainbow Falls is the third and final drop after Potawatomi Falls before the Black River empties into Lake Superior.
It's name comes from what viewers see when falling water creates a mist which creates a rainbow in the sun.
I didn't see a rainbow on my visit and the river had less water than usual. It was still pretty as the water swirled around a curl in the rock before falling to where the river takes a straight shot to the lake.
There is a short walk from the parking lot if you're driving from one falls to the next; it's a longer if you approach from the east side of the river where you might get a better point of view. I didn't have time for the longer walk.
This walk was more difficult because the drop from the parking lot to the river requires a long stairway with a series of landings and turns as the steps descend around trees and angles to reach a level where you can walk out to the river before it cascades over the rocks.
I had no idea before we stayed in Ironwood there were so many falls to see. If we get back, we'll have to make time to see more of them.
