October 1, 2010: The colors of fall are certainly everywhere! What a great time of year to be outside. Today my daughter and I visited the Silver River Falls after stopping at the Esrey Park. It was cool and windy, so we headed for a place in the woods to hike. We ended up deciding on the falls for its pretty views and for its foot trail. The trail itself is not long, but travels up and down over the rocky terrain and tree roots. 
There are some wonderful views of the falls from the trail and we got lots of pictures. We traveled as far down as the path would take us then headed over the street to check out the path on the other side. We were delighted to find a little beaver dam. 
Silver River Falls is marked from the road on Highway M-26 between Eagle Harbor and Copper Harbor. The river flows beneath a Jacksonville sandstone, mason bridge. If you are looking, this is an easy set of falls to find.
