On July 31, Cousin Ken drove us up to the Bond Falls Scenic Area in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, just a few miles from our RV park in Eagle River. The Ontonagan river, dammed above the falls, provides the outflow for this very scenic area. If you want to visit, the nearest town is Paulding.
This is the visitors’ first view of the falls. And this is just half! The total drop of the falls is around 50 feet.
Here is the other half.
Cousin Ken Strong, Linda, me and Cousin Martha Rosenthal at the foot of part of the falls.
There are foot trails on both sides of the river from the foot of the falls to the top of the rapid where the falls begin. Visitors can stand beside the falls to experience the power of the rushing water. I was wondering as I watched if any one has taken any kind of a craft down the falls and survived.

Us and another view of the upper part of the falls.
The view as we climbed higher up the side of the falls.
The highest parts of the falls were scenic, too.
Jo, Ken and Linda hiked down the other side of he falls.
As we returned to the bottom of the falls a group of children were playing.
