Where are
the falls?
While our most common question is “Where are the falls?”, the answer is a bit of a history lesson: the original falls were actually washed out during a historic flood in 1911 and were located where our downtown Dam stands today. While some smaller rapids still exist, most are tucked away on private property or accessible only by kayak. However, there is still so much to discover in our beautiful corner of Wisconsin!
