Pinnacle Falls
About
Pinnacle Falls is a waterfall in Marquette County, Michigan, sitting at about 1,232 feet. The nearest town is Big Bay, about 9 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Big Bay show July and August highs around 75°F with lows in the mid-50s, and the falls sit higher than that station, so expect it to run a little cooler. Climbers will find several areas close by, including Big Bay, Secret Crag and Marquette (and Central UP) Bouldering, all within about 5 miles. In winter, the Bear Mountain Loop cross-country ski trail is about 7.5 miles away.
