Description
This captivating autumn scene showcases the Lower Falls of Tahquamenon River, located in the heart of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. One of the crown jewels of Tahquamenon Falls State Park, this cascading series of waterfalls is surrounded by nearly 50,000 acres of untouched wilderness—home to rich cedar forests, winding rivers, and vibrant fall color.
In this fine art nature print, golden foliage blankets the landscape, forming a glowing canopy above the amber-stained waters below. The unique color of the river—infused with natural tannins from cedar swamps—contrasts beautifully with the soft white cascades and weathered logs resting on the rock. It’s a moment of balance: movement and stillness, vibrancy and calm.
Photographed during a road trip through Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with my daughter, this image carries personal meaning. The scent of wet leaves, the sound of rushing water, and the crispness of the autumn air all linger in my memory. As both a photographer and a nature lover, I’m drawn to wild places that tell a story—and this one speaks of timeless beauty, renewal, and peace.
