The Montreal River is also the State border dividing Wisconsin and Michigan. So 1\/2 technically half of the falls is in MI and the other 1\/2 is in WI. The falls its self is only about 300 yards from Lake Superior, at the parking lot short sleeves were comfortable and at the lake, a sweatshirt would have been nice to have.<\/p>\n<p>Parking is kinda at the center of the falls. The upper part of the falls was fairly easy to get to. The lower part while was good path, was on the shall we say the steep side. The steep part was a road covered with very rough concrete, with every small rock or twig just waiting to roll out from under your foot. It\u2019s very rough to allow vehicles traction to get up the hill in bad\/wet weather. At the top of the falls is a small dam where water is channeled into a 6 ft pipe at the bottom of the falls the water powers a small electrical generation plant, this the need for the access road.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align:
