Potato River Falls

Potato River Falls is located near Gurney, WI along hwy 169. Turn on to Potato River Falls Rd (it only goes one way). Follow the gravel road past the farmland and it will veer to the left. There is a small parking lot with a few picnic tables and an outhouse. This is a no fee park/area. 

There is a small trail to a look out for viewing only. A little farther down there is a short easy trail with many stairs going down to another platform. Be careful! The stairs are very uneven. 

View from the upper platform

After descending down the stairs there is a small lookout platform. If you are feeling more adventurous, there is a well worn trail that will lead you down to the water. We have visited these falls many times and have seen the water fluctuate. More recently, the falls have been raging due to all the rain. This is a nice short easy hike, especially if you are near Copper Falls. Dogs are allowed here, unlike Copper. Enjoy!

I like the silky look of the waterfalls!
