Root Beer Falls

Wayne Premo

This is a very pretty spot and a nice double waterfall. With directions, access is easy. There is almost no walk.

This waterfall is not on any map or named, but is known locally as Root Beer Falls. Take M-28 north from Wakefield. The first left (Wertanen Road) after County Road 519, goes downhill to Planters Creek. The waterfall can be seen to the left through the trees.
