Laughing Whitefish Falls is considered by many to be the most spectacular of Michigan's falls. The falls cascade through a picturesque gorge with old growth white pine and hemlock towering above. The falls can be reached by a moderate (.6 mile) hike through beech-maple forest.

This long and tall slide is one of the tallest waterfalls in Michigan. Definitely worth a visit in the spring. Later in the year the water may get thin enough to be hardly visible. It is a little out of the way, but not too far from the many waterfalls in the Munising area.

The waterfall is named for the river. The river is so named because the mouth of the river resembled a laughing fish when viewed by the Ojibwe from Lake Superior.
