About

Power Dam Falls is a waterfall in Baraga County, Michigan, sitting at about 882 feet on land within the Local Forest. The nearest town is L'Anse, about 1.2 miles away, which makes this an easy stop for anyone already in town. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July averages from a nearby weather station run around a high of 77°F and a low of 55°F, while winter highs there stay in the 20s. That station sits higher than the falls, so expect conditions at the waterfall to be slightly milder than its figures suggest. The area around L'Anse offers more to do across the seasons. Cross-country skiers can head to Core Loop, about 3.6 miles away, or Popsicle Loop, about 4.3 miles away. Climbers will find Boulder #2 within about 5 miles, and paddlers can reach the Silver River, about 5.8 miles out.
