This drop often is covered in layers of thick snow that make for exciting slides once the ice is thick enough.Īccess is a little trickier in the winter as the steep road is not plowed, but you do have two good options. Depending on how the falls freeze up, sometimes you can see water coursing through the ice below.

Some ol’ yooper probably misspelled it once upon a time and the name stuck! *Panked trails are those that have been “packed-in” by previous snowshoers. Scaling down the steep, snowy valley for a better look certainly is an option, just don’t forget you have to climb back up! I recommend staying on the panked* trails to avoid turning a fun afternoon adventure into a longer (and potentially hazardous) ordeal. ![]() While it’s the most difficult to see, the lower falls make up for it with an astounding view out over Torch Lake and the communities below. No matter the season, there’s something amazing to see! With three distinct drops to choose from, Hungarian Falls is your best bang for your buck if you’re looking for frozen waterfall views. This is one of the most popular waterfalls in the area, and for good reason. No two are alike, especially so in winter! Many of our favorite waterfalls make excellent places to go on an adventure to in the winter, so strap on (or lace up!) your snowshoes and take advantage of the deepening snowpack to discover what these familiar sights look like as giant, flowing ice sculptures! HUNGARIAN FALLS The Copper Country’s unique geology makes it a hot spot for waterfalls of all shapes and sizes.
