Wylie Falls
About
Wylie Falls is a waterfall in Marquette County, Michigan, sitting at about 1,407 feet. The nearest town is Big Bay, roughly 10 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. Several other spots lie within a short drive. The Marquette (and Central UP) Bouldering area and Secret Crag are both about 5 miles away, and Yellow Dog Falls is just under 6 miles off. In winter, the Bear Mountain Loop cross-country ski trail is about 7.5 miles away.
