Autumn At Upper Bond Falls

Bond Falls is in the western Upper Peninsula off of Bond Falls Road, east of the Ontonagon County village of Paulding, Michigan. It is created as the middle branch of the Ontonagon River tumbles over a thick belt of fractured rock, dividing it into numerous small cascades. The total drop of the falls is 50 feet. Above the main falls are a series of cascades and rapids that drop a total of 20 feet. The water level is controlled by a nearby dam, and a steady flow over the falls is maintained for scenic reasons. Of course during the spring snow melt the flow is much higher. I’ve been to Bond Falls many times, but this is the first time I visited in the fall.
