Chasing Waterfalls Between Wildman Outposts: A Guide to Marinette County’s Hidden Gems

Waterfall with rafting

Looking to elevate your Wildman Adventure weekend with some scenic serenity? Between conquering Class IV rapids and soaring on our 1900-foot zipline, take time to explore the wild beauty of Marinette County’s waterfalls—a natural playground nestled right between our two Outposts.

At Wildman Adventure Resort, our guests come for the adrenaline but leave talking about the unforgettable moments they had surrounded by nature. Whether you’re launching your trip at our Menominee River Outpost or wrapping up at our Peshtigo River Outpost, this waterfall loop gives you a perfect way to add awe-inspiring views to your already action-packed getaway. Since many of our guests travel between locations at least once during their stay, this can be the extra cherry on top of your beautiful drive!

 Your Wildman Waterfall Route: Between the Menominee & Peshtigo River Outposts

Just 45 minutes apart, these two Wildman locations are linked by Marinette County’s official waterfall tour—an outdoor lover’s dream featuring more than a dozen breathtaking waterfalls along rustic backroads, forested hikes, and serene pull-offs.

Here are a few must-stops we recommend that pair perfectly with your Wildman itinerary:

Top 5 Waterfalls Near Wildman Adventure Resort

1. Long Slide Falls

📍 Near Pembine, WI (closest to the Menominee Outpost)
💧 Dramatic 50-ft cascading falls with a short hike in.
This is a top photo spot and a quick add-on after your whitewater run at Piers Gorge.

2. Veteran’s Falls

📍 At the base of Thunder Mountain
🪨 Surrounded by rugged granite and forest trails.
This spot makes for a peaceful moment post-zipline, with picnic areas perfect for unwinding.

3. Twelve Foot Falls

📍 Halfway between the two Outposts
🌿 A great place to stretch your legs between our two outposts.
You’ll have a great picnic spot, swimming, and a bonus twin waterfall—Eighteen Foot Falls—just down the trail.

4. Strong Falls

📍 Near Goodman Park
🔥 Gorgeous riverside views and a wooded loop trail.
A favorite for families and groups looking to relax after conquering the ropes course or the class 2-3 rapids of the Peshtigo River.

5. Dave’s Falls

📍 Steps off Hwy 141 near Amberg
⚡ Easily accessible, a local favorite!
You’ll hear it before you see it—Dave’s Falls is a dramatic cascade that delivers a thrill without a hike.

🧭 Why It’s More Than Just Sightseeing

We all know that TLC (the famous girl group from the 90s) suggests “don’t go chasing waterfalls”, but we’re going to have to respectfully disagree with them here. We have several waterfalls you’ll see from your rafting trips, and almost all of our guests say they are happy they chased them. There is something about the roar of falling water and the fresh pine-scented air that sticks with you long after your trip. So chase them on foot, chase them by raft, and certainly enjoy everything our beautiful local area has to offer!
