Description
Ontonagon River Placid Falls by Dale Kauzlaric -- Bond Falls is a 50 foot waterfall from the outflow of Bond Falls Flowage located a few miles east of Paulding in Ontonagon County, Michigan. The falls is part of the middle branch of the Ontonagon River in this western portion of the Upper Peninsula or UP of Michigan. The river above the falls is beautiful with its many cascades and rapids. Bond Falls is named for Oliver S. Bond, who once owned the property. Bond Falls Flowage was created in 1940, when a dam was built on the river. A small sawmill town named Calderwood was flooded in the formation of the flowage. Bond Falls Park is a very popular tourist landmark. Bond Falls Park is a Michigan State Scenic Site. This is the best single waterfall in the western UP and the second best waterfall in Michigan. The park has a boardwalk surrounding the lower falls making this area very accessible. The river above the lower falls is accessible on both sides for those who like to climb the trails.
I climbed the trail and stairs on the right side. As I climbed the trail alongside the Ontonagon River, I found a placid falls. The channel from the dam above flows by this falls. I love the green reflection above the falls. -- dalekphotography.com
