Copper Falls

June 26,2010: My family and I drove out to the Copper falls.
I had some trouble determining the location of the falls. After some research online and looking at Google Earth, I had found a falls on the Owl River. I believe there is another falls on the river, but I will leave this to this fall. To get to the falls, I came from 41 going north to Copper Falls road until it ended into Eagle Harbor Cut Off road. I made a right then another immediate right onto trail 130, a two track. On trail 130, I saw a few very old houses surrounded by woods. We parked on the side of the road by a very old orchard and walked down the trail to a bridge and the falls were on the right. The falls altogether are a little over 15 feet tall and the rock face the water ‘falls’ over slopes down with pretty moss on the rocks. The Owl River is low today, but regardless the falls are pretty. In the river bed is poor rock from what I assume to be the Copper Mine located nearby. After checking out the falls, we walked up the river bed and found a neat pit that deserves further investigation. At this point my daughter was done exploring and it was time to head out. We decided to head out and enjoy the day with a drive.
