About Amnicon Falls State Park

Amnicon Falls State Park sits near South Range, southeast of Superior, and centers on a run of waterfalls and rapids on the Amnicon River. Visitors can watch the water from a covered footbridge or from about two miles of trails that follow the river. The park also offers picnicking, camping, and woodland walks, and it is a good place to learn how the Douglas Fault shaped the falls. Entry to the park requires a state vehicle admission pass.
