This seasonal waterfall (this falls usually flows only in the Spring when the winter "run-off" is in full flow. I stopped here last Fall and the waterfall was completely dry), Wequiock Falls, was in good flow on March 21, 2010. The falls are just off HWY 57 a couple blocks north of where HWY 54 intersects with HWY 57.

Upper Upson Falls - Close-up of the falls that I almost missed ... they are hidden from the main park, but visible through the trees at the park's entrance; if I had not re-checked the book, I would have missed them, as I did not see them at first and had actually left the park. I found them when I returned after reading that there was a 15-ft. waterfall (the one I had missed).
And finally, just a couple photos of the old ore dock and a sign in Ashland, WI:
Ore Dock - The fate of this structure hangs in the balance; it has been out of service for some time.
