Laughing Whitefish Falls is one of the most substantial in the Upper Peninsula, and so it's worth a drive out. The Falls are located about a half hour drive to the south and the east - follow US 41 south to Michigan State Route 94, head east on 94 toward Munising - and follow the signs to the Falls. (The road to the falls is about 4 miles to the east of US 41.)

The Falls are located in a wooded area, and it's about a half-mile walk from the parking area to the falls themselves. The best view of the falls is from a platform down down several flights of wooden stairs.

The falls are at their "fullest" in the springtime, after the meltdown. On the other hand, from early June to early August the area of the Falls is likely to be home to many blackflies and mosquitos. Be prepared!
