Kakabika Falls, located approximately 12 miles northeast of Marenisco Mi., on the Bessemer Ranger District. This falls is actually a series of "S" turns as the river drops in elevation. The trail is not a long trail and not too difficult. There is some good berry picking near here as well as great fishing.
